Yeah. I sucked my thumb until about 9 years old. Beautiful teeth (although
many fillings)---no braces. Cameron is 15 Jan 23. No cavities so far. <G>

Don't they wish! I figure it's genetics. My dh has only about 3 or 4
fillings in his mouth. Mine is full of them. I don't think I have a tooth
without a filling. My older two inherited my (and *their* father's) bad
tooth enamel. My youngest inherited *his* dad's. He's 15 and no cavities
so far.
