Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
Actually cavities are caused by decrease in pH of oral cavity, which is because of increase in sugar intake, and sometimes it is genetic also.
Better you should give a regular visit to dentist every 6 months and even ask him to tell you proper brushing technique, as well as proper hygiene maintainence.
Hope it will help you.
