I am one of those people who naturally are more or less immune to cavities. My dentist tells me it is because of the pH in my mouth.

I _do_ have to brush my teeth etc... though, because i tend to have a lot of plaque if i don't.

Apparently either it is cavities, or plaque. You must take care of your teeth!

I have very strong (and ugly) teeth. The few "cavities" that I had, were actually made by dentists (they do that, y'know), and have resulted in a couple of crowns.

Otherwise, my teeth are great. I now have a dentist that doesn't make cavities, and she seems almost disappointed, when she checks me.

But gum care is every bit as important as tooth care (take it from me, you don't want a gum-scraping), and that is why I need to brush, floss, and mouthwash, twice a day.

You are the only person I have ever heard entertain this idea, so it would be better to spell out how this happened than assume everyone knows it.

Fair ‘nuff, but I’m not gonna bother getting into it. Life’s too short.

Let’s just say that there has been a fair bit of press, over the years on the matter, so it may not be as singular an event as you might think.

I can certainly attest that I've had dentists damage my teeth on more than one occasion.
