Not OP but I'm a similar age and never had a cavity either. I grew up in a rural area and drank well water as a kid. They did occasionally provide topical flouride in the schools.

I stopped going to dentists in my mid 20s. Routine cleanings are not actually shown to improve outcomes, and the lack of cavities leaves me no other reason to go.

I couldn't say why I'm so lucky in this respect, but the bacterial explanation seems plausible.
