After I had lost my pediatric dentist I procrastinated with finding a new dentist to go to then I started feeling mild ack in my teeth so I finally went in after all little over a year and a half and was told I have 6 cavities before this I have only have 1 cavity in my life and I am only 22 I am also a senior in college. I feel like crap I have always taken very good care of my teeth I was very shocked I brush 2x a day and I started flossing and using mouthwash. I also have been drinking more water. I wanted to now if their are others out their that have been through this as well at my age and if they have worse problems then I do also is this situation common and can I still claim I have good teeth if all my teeth are straight despite this problem Thank you
