Dental Clinical Trials

Complete garbage. “It’s genetic.” “Some people just get more cavities.” “I brush twice a day and still get them.” Sound familiar? Here’s what actual dental research shows. A comprehensive review of phase 4 clinical trials registered at ClinicalTrials.gov confirms dental caries is caused by multiple factors - yes, including genetic predisposition, but primarily microorganisms. The bacteria in your mouth eating the sugar you keep feeding them. But here’s the key finding everyone ignores: dental caries is preventable. Not “might be preventable with good genes.” Preventable. Period. You’re not a victim of bad DNA. You’re feeding cavity-causing bacteria every time you sip that energy drink, snack on gummy bears, or skip flossing because “it doesn’t work anyway.” Those microorganisms are literally eating holes through your teeth while you blame your parents’ genetics. Stop making excuses. Start making changes. Cut the sugar. Use fluoride. Floss like your smile depends on it. Because it does.
