Like many others I thought my family was predisposed to bad teeth based on the number of diagnosed cavities my sister and I had in HS/college (she had probably 10 fillings before college and I had 3). Then I moved to a new city and that last cavity I’d needed to get treated ASAP suddenly disappeared when I received my new dentist’s check up. She mentioned that there’s a lot of leeway in how cavities are defined and some dentists will lean very aggressive in their diagnosis (IMO crossing over into outright fraud or deception in my case). I’ve never had a cavity since that first dentist.
