A Clean Tooth Will Not Decay.
The reality that a clean tooth will not decay was demonstrated in multiple experiments in the 1950s and 60s. Since then scientific research has not only re-demonstrated it countless times, we have advanced the science to allowing patients to stop decay after is has started ... and ... if the decay has not progressed too far the patient can reverse the decay (that would be heal the cavity).
And yet! ... People clean their teeth daily, they visit their dentist regularly, and they still get cavities. Why? The answer lies in the reality that most people's attempts to clean their teeth are not effective. The teeth don't get clean. And so they get cavities in those places, ... repeatedly.
When was the last time your dentist and/or hygienist helped you learn how to effectively (the key is effectively) clean your teeth ... AND ... showed you how to evaluate your own effectiveness at home? In other words, be able to check any day, in your own home, whether you actually get your teeth clean. A CLEAN TOOTH WILL NOT DECAY!
And those of you who have cavities already that need filling, how about creating an environment in your mouth that will prevent new decay from destroying that rather expensive investment called "dental restorations."
