I’m disappointed to find out that I need three cavity fillings when I thought I always had a good diet and oral hygiene. FYI - I’m in my late 20s. Is it normal to have cavities at this age 🤯

Every few years I have a full cavity search just to make sure. They look at me funny, and it is more invasive than you’d expect a dentist to be, but it feels great and no cavities!

Yeah - I have a cavity or two every few years.
I also have terrible teeth...genetics 🤷🏼‍♀️

Second opinion seems reasonable. Any age can get a cavity if you don’t brush and keep up

Husbands a dentist, super normal. Even he gets cavities. Also he doesn’t “do work for the sake of doing work” - if you need a second opinion you need a new dentist

Meaning you should trust your provider, and if you don’t that’s a red flag to find a new one

Honestly, I think everyone has at least one to two by their mid to late 20s. I used to freak out every time I would go to the dentist for the fear of having a cavity and thus letting myself down. Since getting one filled, my dentist anxiety has gone way down. It’s like breaking the seal.

My wife is a Fragile X carrier, so with this and trouble conceiving we are doing IVF and doing genetic testing on the embryos. There were 2 options Natera and Cooper. We went with Natera - and they take so long!! It sounds like it will be months before they send sample collection kits to us and close family members, then use those samples to develop a customized embryo test. Natera is fine with us beginning hormone stimulation in parallel, but our RE won’t allow it (no clear explanation why).
