CAVITIES? TOOTH DECAY?! ...maybe it's not your fault (2018)

Cavities and Tooth decay... why do they actually happen? I'm a Dentist, and in this video I will explain why a cavity occurs in a tooth.

A new paradigm shift in recent years has led more and more dentists to believe that it isn't simply neglect or poor oral hygiene that's responsible for some people getting decay in their teeth, and others not having any.

There's so much more to it, and a host of different factors that can influence the development of a cavity in a tooth.

In this video, you will discover:

The Neglect vs Susceptibility schools of thought regarding cavity formation, and which is correct.

The influence of genetics on your susceptibility to decay

How a childhood fever can cause cavities later in life

How drastically different people can vary in their cavity susceptibility.

This video will answer a lot of questions for you, especially if you have a sibling or child who NEVER brushes their teeth and yet is cavity free. Or the opposite - a child who ALWAYS brushes, flosses, rinses, and yet still struggles with cavity formation.

Enjoy the video, and if you have any questions about cavities, tooth decay or other dentist-related inquiries, please let me know in the comments below and I'll be sure to get back to you as soon as possible!
