A question about cavities and brushing??


Allright well let me start by saying i am a terrible brusher... i only brush about two-three times a week and its embarassing and i've been trying to fix it... also i never floss... but the thing that i dont understand is, that last time i went to the dentist i did not have a single cavity... how is that possible, can someone explain? i mean yes i do get my teeth cleaned every six months but no cavities?? i mean im thankful but i dnt get it... oh and my dentist sas i constantly have alot of saliva in my mouth if that helps... thnx

well, i think it has to do with you producing extra saliva...b/c saliva has enzymes in it which breakdown food particles...so your saliva is helping to cut down on the amount of food particles left in your mouth between brushings

You probably just have naturally good teeth that aren't as sensitive to plaque or bacteria.

yah, mee too. i only have one. im kinda weird. ill like brush my teeth three time a night then rinse....;s maybe its cuz you dont eat candy and junk all the time!
