Well actually, decay can be prevented, but it starts early on! With Fluoride and sealants we have a ton of patients that are decay free.
I have sealants and fluoride. I still got cavities in almost all of my teeth. Yes, 30 out of 31 of them has a filling. I had tetracycline as a baby and it just started from there.
A few years ago, I had a root canal re-done and while she was doing it, the crown fell off. Then I had several other filings. My insurance doesn't cover but $10 of a filling and 0 for root canals or for the re-setting of the crown and I paid $4000 out of pocket for it all.
