We agree about all that, so what's your contribution to the conversation exactly?

You realize when people go in for cleanings they are getting checked for cavities right?

  Nope, I didn't realize that. Thank you for informing me. You are so wise. Next time maybe try engaging with the actual topic of the conversation? Like how some people are more or less prone to cavities and why that might be biologically or something? Obviously we all know that dentists are checking for cavities and people should go. I had an irrational fear of going to the dentist and opened about up about that here and all you can think to do is berate a point everyone here already knows?

    You said "maybe it isn't as required for some people as we think granted they keep up with a regular at home regimen?" I'm saying you not having cavities has no bearing on the overall benefit of people in general going to the dentist to get checked more often than every 10 years.

      Did you know that "some people" has no bearing on "people in general"? Like I said, we agree about this, but you still want to argue? I feel like you're here to argue about semantics and not what we're actually talking about at this point, or did you have something else to add?

        I'm not sure what your point is. You were saying some people don't need to go to the dentist because you didn't have cavities, but that's not a generalization that holds true and it doesn't really go anywhere because someone only knows if they didn't need to go to the dentist in the past. Again, it's like someone smoking their whole life and living to 100 then saying "some people can live to 100 while smoking all the time". You don't know until it has already happened, it doesn't help anyone.

        I had said: “This isn't to say that going to the dentist for regular cleanings isn't worth it, but maybe it isn't as required for some people as we think granted they keep up with a regular at home regimen?” My point is that I find it interesting that some people get cavities despite going to the dentist regularly and some people never go to the dentist and never get cavities, that’s all. Could there be variables beyond genetics at play here? I don’t know, which is why I’m interested.
