i come from some freaky/evolved genes (mom born w/out wisdom teeth, her mom born w/out an appendix), and one of my biggest genetic lottery tickets is that i'm 37 and have never had an inkling of a cavity.
i was, however cursed with allergies and asthma and was on my dentist's shit list for my gums from mouth breathing.
i turned all my gum problems around the last 2 years however with a combination of a quality electric toothbrush and the new "satin" tape floss.
between being able to floss regularly because i wasn't shredding the floss from the tiny gaps in my teeth and the burly degree of clean i got from my plug-in braun toothbrush everything fell in line and i blew my dentist assistant's mind a few days ago after a 2 year break.
anyway, my advice is that dental technology is more evolved than you might think and to take advantage of the fact that a lot of home tools rival dentist's chair sets now... just find whatever it is that you can personally stand to hit up faithfully everyday.
