Grump. Just got back from the dentist, again![More:]I think I just have lousy teeth. When I was four, I had a lot of cavities, but my sister had none. My reaction at the time was, I'm only four! My mother never lets me eat junk food! I haven't had time yet to ruin my teeth! WTH? (Didn't know how to swear yet.)

But I do drink a lot of acidic diet soda now, so that probably isn't helping (there was a good Askme question recently about this). Nevertheless, I had to have a cap last month, a filling today (in a tooth that is in the main line of things and never gets any hidden food caught or anything), and my last remaining wisdom tooth extracted next month. The scenic travel posters they put on the ceiling for you while they work do not help. *whimper*
my father -in-law, an orthodontist used to say to me "well Science tells us (Wissenschaft) that there is no genetic difference in dentine, but I've seen kids from the same families and with the exact same diets and some of them simply have weaker dentine and have more cavities" Now his science was 40 years ago. I'm certain they've found something since then.
