Sealants, eh?
Hmmm, have to look into that.
I have 2 cavities.
But I think it is a trade off in my case: I didn't get teeth until I was a year and a half (my parents got xrays to make sure i had teeth). once those came in, they didn't want to leave and ended up having 7 baby teeth pulled in 8th grade.
my jaw is too small that i had a retainer and/or braces from 2nd grade to sophmore year of high school, my 12 year old molars never came in all the way, all 4 wisdom teeth were growing the wrong way, impacted, AND cystic.
did i mention the orthodontist gave me lock jaw? yeah. i think my mouth couldn't handle any cavities.
eta: of you people that don't have cavities (or that many) is your water treated with flouride/was it while growing up? most city water is treated, so i'm wondering if that is why so many of us have fewer cavities. its not all to do with it...but right now i'm studying trace mineral effects for my finals, and there is flouride, staring my back in the face.
