25 Years old and never had cavities? Is it genes?

I brush my teeth in the morning and then at night. I eat a LOT of candy... I have never had a cavity in my life... I don't think it is genetic because my parents and my sister have had some kind of dental work... Isn't it odd? Is there an explanation for this? Just curious...

Maybe you had a greater exposure to fluoride or perhaps you eat all your confectionery quickly. It's also possible the bacteria in your mouth aren't as cariogenic (cavity causing).

For most people its certainly possible to get to 25 without cavities but if you are doing that while eating obscene amounts of candy then I'm happy for you =). Regularly check your teeth though just to be safe.
