Answers:

If you drink soda, stop. I have a problem with cavities, too. Your dentist can give/prescribe a special rinse the help kill the bacteria that causes cavities (perio-med is what I use).
Brush after eating/drinking and avoid sugary foods/drinks.
also if you chew gum, switch to a gum that has xylitol in it (like Trident), it's sugar-free and can help fight cavities.
