Anecdotally, I’m having one hell of a time with my 3yo and 5yo’s teeth.
No juice. No soda. No bad snacks. Lots of dentist recommended foods and snacks. Full brushing and flossing regimen. Fluoride. Dentist applied special fluoride treatments. Trust me when I say we’re doing everything right.
And yet they’re 3 and 5 and have had so many cavities.
I asked my dad about it and he said my brothers and I had, frankly, poor dental hygiene, and not a single cavity until our teens.
I’m not saying it’s because of this organism or any specific thing. But I cannot shake the feeling that something significant has changed in the last 30 years.
