I have the same problem..I brush 3times a day and floss twice and I still have decay. the last time I had work done I had 6 fillings done at once and I still have like 7 more. some peoples teeth are just not as strong as others. Which may be due to not enough calcium or flouride. You need to talk to your dentist and get regular cleanings every 6 months and your hygeienst or dentist can give you a special like extra flouride toothpaste and special mouthwash with extra flouride also called chlorohexidine Glucanate (I think that's how it is spelled) that is used to help patients who are decay prone....Good Luck

Some people are more prone to tooth decay than others. Try mouthwash twice a day. Also, you might need to brush after every time you eat anything.

Ask you dentist about new brushing techniques. Make sure you brush atleast twice a day (after breakfast and dinner) but you should brush after lunch too.
Make sure you brush thoroughly, I sometimes brush my teeth for 7 minutes, so I never get cavities.

You may just have poor calcium, ive heard of this. Have you had children? Many times (i grew up around amish) the amish women eventually have to get all their teeth pulled because after having so many children, they have a very low amount of calcium in their bodies. I would suggest calcium "vitamins." Also, I heard that well water will do that to your teeth.
