Mr. AKA_Monet is 33 yrs old and does not have any cavities or fillings!!!

But, my father is a dentist and has filled 3 cavities that I have over the course of 10 years. So yes, it is due to poor genetics and poor dental hygiene to mop up from the poor genetics...

What happens is that we tolerate the microorganisms in our mouths for years. However due to stress we cause in our lives, drinking too much--either alcohol, soda or hot drinks, we wear away our teeth, that added with the sugar is a powerful combination for the natural flora and fauna in our mouth to become opportunistic and digest our enamel... And if you have a genetic predisposition of weak enamel already or ability to have high sugar content in your mouth, then--there you go with your answer...

Diabetes runs in my family. So I am addicted to sugar due to poor energy usage in my body. This worsens my teeth. Then I cause structural damage because I am a chronic bruxist (I grind my teeth--it pisses my dad off to no end). So that exacerbates the dental problems I have...

And there are no meds for this...

I'll just have to try meditation--new age stuff...
