Had been using Apagard Premio n-Ha toothpaste since 2020. Ended up with 8 cavities in early 2023, largely due to two factors: consistently drinking one sugar free Red Bull in the morning, my critical error here was in drinking it SLOWLY over the course of one hour... no one ever taught me about the Stephan curve or why keeping your mouth in an acidic state could be disastrous for your teeth. The other factor was grinding my teeth at night, and a bite guard has somewhat helped there. Ideal would be not grinding but I don't have a magic solution there. Dentist prescribed fluoride toothpaste and MI paste. My tooth sensitivity is now gone.
