I've said things about genes and cavities to the few dentists I've seen in my life. They get so pissy when you do that. And I understand - it's in their interest to have you in their office regularly. At any rate, I've also known people with nary a cavity. One was a heavy candy eater. It absolutely must be genetic. The dentist can stick his little scraping tool someplace else. I've also known people that seem to do everything right but can't keep from having cavities no matter what. I'm somewhere in the middle: Keep them clean and scrubbed and flossed and I can pretty much stay out of the dentist's chair.
