I feel your pain. Oh boy, do I. I've had dental problems all my life and I really do try to take good care of my teeth, even have one of those fancy sonicare toothbrushes. I just have thin enamel, something I've inherited from my mother.
I just had to have a cracked filling replaced with a crown - a nice $700 bill (I do have dental insurance, thank god) and I had a root canal last year and various other problems: pulled teeth, bridges, filling, etc. Sometimes I think I'm putting my dentist's kids through college.
And did I mention that I have a pathological fear of dentists? Gee, I wonder why.
Yeah, I would think that you would want to have those cavities filled right away. You wouldn't want to have a root canal done on those.
