The vinegar and honey just exacerbate the decay problem.
Obviously untrue as my teeth are fine.
obviously.
But seriously there are those who are predisposed to tooth decay. I think my son may be one of them. He had eight molars capped with steel at the age of four. He calls 'em his robot teeth. We have been taking him to the pediatric dentist twice a year since was three, brushing him often, and we don't let him have too much candy, and he's never had a coca-cola. But he has had cavities. I discussed this at length with several dentists. They're all convinced that some folks can go forty years without brushing and never get a cavity. Others can brush after every meal and still get them. It's just the way it is.
I became a fan of mouthwash for my son several years ago. And of flossing. Since we added mouthwash, the good kind, with copious amounts of alcohol, and flossing, he hasn't had a cavity.
Personally, I don't floss or use any mouthwash, open bottles with my teeth, eat plenty of acidic foods, and I don't brush as often as I should. I also don't like the taste of toothpaste, so I usually have a stiff drink, or coffee if it's early, after I brush. Not something I'd recommend, but that's how I operate. And yet, I'm 44 and I've never lost a tooth or had to have braces. For whatever reasons, the gods have given me straight, strong teeth.
But if I am a child with a cavity, then I know I'm just one of those persons who needs to go that extra yard. Use mouthwash after brushing. It's just good practice.
