Also a lack of calcium can lead to decay and problems. That is a genetic problem that my grandmother, my father, and my brother and I suffer from. My mom worked for a dentist all of our young lives, so we were diligent about dental care, still ended up with cavities. Genetics can be a b*tch sometimes LOLsouthcitymom said:There is a condition known as soft teeth that some children (my 7-year-old goddaughter for one) are born with. Their baby teeth are just more likely to develop cavities and rot unless they are sealed. My goddaughter stays away from sweets and has a very strong teeth cleaning regimine and her teeth are still a mess.
My sons eat sweets and brush their teeth once (sometimes twice) a day and have no problems. They have obviously inherited my lucky teeth genes. I take okay (nothing special) care of my teeth - have never done anything more than brush them once or twice a day and go to the dentist maybe once a year and I never had a cavity until I was 36. Some of it really is the luck of the draw.
