When I was a child, it seemed like after my dental check-ups, I always had a cavity that needed to be filled. Since I seemed to always get cavities even when I thought I was "doing everything right," I decided I must just have "bad teeth" and decided to accept it. However, one day when speaking to a friend who always seemed to have "perfect teeth," I learned that there were just a few small habits I had that were greatly impacting my oral health.
