[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has anyone else never had a cavity?  I'm 35, usually just brush once a day, and don't avoid sugar.  I had a sealant put on my molars as a child, which maybe helped.

Two years ago, a dentist told me I had 2 "pre-cavities" he wanted to drill out and fill.  I got a second opinion:  no cavities.  Two years later, still none.  I'm still shocked at how unethical that first dentist was.

Anyway, I feel lucky to have strong teeth I guess.  But my fingernails are very brittle, and you'd think they'd be related.  [/quote]

LOL, you're not that unique.  Most of your generation are decay free.  Also, your two year old dentist isn't necessarily unethical.  If he was seeing you for the first time and had no history of xrays to compare to, to him/her that's being proactive to treat early.  Those incipient areas could have been there for years, but s/he may not have known this.  There are dentists that don't treat decay until its visible clinically, no matter how large the area could be radiographically.  Is THAT considered unethical?  You really have no comprehension of how dentistry works.[/quote]

Well, OK.  You don't have to be so rude about it.[/quote]
