Thats definitely not true. It may be the case for him that his sugar intake has decrease a lot since when he was younger, but if he continues to eat as many sugars as he use to do, he will find himself with cavities. It also depends on how often he brushes his teeth. Tell him to stop brushing for 1 month and see the amount of cavities that pop up.

As you get older and lose all of your teeth, it is harder to get cavities in them.
I would not be surprised to learn that people over a certain age have less of a chance for cavities. They probably do a much better job than kids when it comes to taking care of teeth. However, adults can still get cavities. I would like to see a link to a medical site that says different.

Definitely BS! It is less likely that you will get them at age 30 because once you grow up and realize that brushing your teeth is good hygiene's that will limit your chances of getting them, however, I know some older people who has gotten cavities and they brush their teeth constantly and they are much older than 30.

it's B.S.
you don't get cavities due to your age, your teeth decay because of bad hygiene and diet.
