This is probably a dumb question, but do you have sealant on your teeth? If not, it might be worth investigating with the new dentist (speaking as someone who had years of teeth problems, beginning from the high doses of phenobarbital they gave me as an wee un (I stopped taking it a week before the FDA pulled it), then moving into the "shark teeth" phenomonen of having the permanent teeth come in behind the baby teeth and thus requiring 8 teeth pulled in kindergarten and then, for some bizarre reason, having none of my baby teeth become loose, requiring them ALL to be pulled over the following eight years. The only plus was that the tooth fairy "felt sorry" for me, and so I generally scored a paperback book with a dollar inside, and at least one afternoon off from school. Also, I still get to see my speciality "pediatric" dentist at the age of 23.
Anyway. A sealant is probably worth the investment if you have chronic problems.
