Q. No matter how well I clean my teeth and limit my intake of sugar and acidic foods, I always seem to need some annoying dental treatment like a filling. Are some people more prone to problems with their teeth, or is there the possibility of an underlying condition? I don’t want to lose my teeth or ruin my smile.
A. Every patient is different. Some are more succeptable to decay than others. This can be diet related or there can simply be a predisposition to decay as a result of salivary flow and acidity and oral hygiene technique.
