Why is it I get multiple cavities?!

Question: Why is it I get multiple cavities?

I brush and floss after every meal, use mouthwash twice daily and I have a special toothpaste prescription that I always use before I go to bed. But after every visit to the dentist I always have multiple cavities, and yet I have family members who only brush, floss and use mouthwash only twice on a daily basis, eat candy and junk food (which I avoid at all cost, instead eating fruits) but yet they never get a cavity, not even once. Why is this happening to me? I do all the work but they gain all the benefits, while I suffer from their actions.
Please help me, this is having long-term effects. My dentist said I may start losing teeth at this rate.

This is going to sound weird. I used to brush my teeth every day, and hand scale once a week. More then once I went to the dentist with 7 cavities. So 6 years ago I quit brushing my teeth. Since then I have only had 2 cavities. The best cavity preventative is your own saliva.

It could also have something to do with your genes too. Fruits have sugar in them too, that could be a cause. I'd be speaking with your dentist about this. only they can tell you what you are doing wrong.

personal experience

Many fruit juices contain loads of sugar and FRUIT. Try eating them on set meal times. i worked in a bar and the orange juice dripped on the floor........ you know what it did after time? It ate the concrete!
