Is having 6 cavities bad for a 20 year old?
I have 6 cavities that I didn't know I had. My teeth aren't sensitive to anything. Hot, Cold, or sweet. I went to the dentist for the first time in a LONG while just for a normal check up and after reviewing my x-rays they showed me where my cavities were and pointed out 6. I always thought I had healthy teeth. I brush twice daily. Once when I wake up and again before I go to sleep. I floss and use mouth wash. The non-alcohol kind with fluoride in it. I have fluorosis on my teeth, so they're stained, but not cola or coffee or tea stains.
Why is it that I have so many cavities doing all that's needed to be done to keep up with teeth. And is 6 cavities really bad? How come my cousin, who only brushes once in a while only had 1 or 2 cavities his whole life? What's up with that?

wow i cant imagine why you would have any with all that care! it makes me feel bad i have 8! but anywho my neighbor gave me an advice for my lil ones (children not teeth, lol) to drink water after you drink juice it helps wash away the juice from your teeth because somehow it causes cavities, so if you drink juice remember to drink water after… and by the way did you ask the dentist why? this is happening since you obviously try to take care of your teeth!
