Specializes in Prosthodontics

Cavities Not Normal: Cavities are caused by a bacterial process that pulls the minerals out of the tooth and bacterial enzymes dissolve what is left. The fewer the better. Discuss this with your dentist.

8: Based on experience, the answer here can very from 0 to 32 and depends on a variety of factors including how much Fluoride the individual was exposed to when growing up and the teeth were forming (ages 0-12), the frequency and quality of the persons' dental care throughout their life and their personal oral hygiene habits.
