Yes: Cavities are a fact of life for most people. You sound as if you have great oral hygiene, keep it up.

Yes you can: Unfortunately yes, you may still get cavities due to bacterias that accumulate in your mouth.

Possibly...: Everything you are doing is great, but you left out of your list, bi-yearly visits to the dentists for comprehensive exams and cleanings! you need to add that and remember that there are also genetic factors, developmental factors and luck that all still play a part. You are on the right track! keep up the good work!
