      I’m 38, I’ve had a few cavities, but somehow never a proper cavity search.

      Not many people can say that. You must pay a lot of attention to your brushing.

        Someone can feel free to correct me but I’ve read that it’s also partly genetic.

          It has to be genetic. My partner brushes AND flosses and I’ve never flossed and had a period of my life raving and staying over places without a toothbrush. Brushing sometimes. I’m in my late 30s and have never had a cavity. They are 30 and have had lots of them.

          And exposure to fluoride! Fluoride makes strong teeth!

      38 here, same. The only dental work I’ve had done was orthodontics.

        Likewise. I had braces twice, a bunch of baby teeth, all wisdom teeth and 2 permanent teeth pulled because my “mouth was too small”. I have some fucked up dreams but the scariest ones are those where my teeth are loose or falling out. I think I have dental PTSD…
