What can I do to prevent my constant cavities!?!
Question:
What can I do to prevent my constant cavities!?
I don’t eat a lot of sweets, and I do drink water that has fluoride in it. I brush my teeth after each meal. I brush 3 times a day. I floss 2 times a day. I use “Listerine Tooth Defense Anticavity Fluoride Rinse” 2 times a day. So in theory, I should have clean, cavity free teeth, right? Not the case. After all that oral hygiene I am still getting constant cavities. I go to the dentist every 4 - 5 months to get cavities filled. On each visit there is anywhere between 2 - 5 cavities. I’d also like to add that some of the cavities seem to be recurring in the same places on the same teeth. So my question is, how can I prevent these constant cavities? What can I do that I am not already doing?
Any advise or suggestions from anyone will help!
Thank you!

Have you discussed this with your dentist? That would be the BEST answer.
Some people just have weak enamel, either genetics or from medication as a baby.
