I basically never eat sugar. Hadn't been to the dentist in 15 years. When I finally did go, they did X-rays and found 4 "pre-cavities". Now I'm thinking it was scam.
I had three or four pre cavities on my teeth, I just started Vitamin K2 MK7, zinc and magnesium supplements. Combine that with brushing my teeth and they faded away after 6 months. No change in diet, although I don't have much sugar.
I had the "pre-cavity" thing once. Had a broken tooth and needed a crown, local dentist cleaned up the break and put in a temp crown, told me I would need a permanent in six months, and said I had 8 more cavities that needed work.
This one visit completely drained my dental insurance at the time, and the temp crown lasted a month.
Found another dentist in another town who had a cash discount, a big cash discount. Got the new crown for 20% of what it would have cost, and after using a much bigger and more powerful x-ray of my full mouth, he says I'm otherwise in good shape.
I asked him about the 'pre-cavities.' He gave me the look and shook his head.
15-20 years later, crown is long gone and I finally have to get that tooth pulled, third dentist finds ONE small cavity. So yeah, I don't buy that 'pre/micro cavity' bs.
It was. I went to the dentist for the first time in 8 years and he found "micro-cavities" that only he could see (dental hygienist said everything looked amazing). I didn't schedule the followup. That was six years ago, and my teeth are fine. I guess they healed themselves.

I know someone who brushes their teeth twice a day and is still facing gum issues due to genetic issues. Consider yourself lucky.
Yeah definitely something to that - I only brush once a day and use natural, fluoride-free tooth paste.
