If you avoid sugar and floss religiously, and have a decent calcium intake, that takes care of most of the potential problems.

Not true.

Mouth pH and mouth biome make all the difference.

Also spacing between teeth.

I used to be friends with someone that ate bags of gummy bears a day.

Never flossed, brushed a couple of times a week.

Zero cavities well into his 30s, maybe longer.

Gummy bears are delicious.

He also crushed ice with his teeth.

Add decent calcium processing/distribution. I get too much calcium deposit and vit D+K basically fixed my dental issues. Unfortunately it took 30 years for a dentist to tell me about that.

And great genetics, the most important factor.
