Why Me? The unfair reason you get cavities and what to do about it.

by V. Kim Kutsch

Do you dread visiting the dentist? Are you the poster child for proper brushing and flossing techniques, only to find your efforts do not produce the desired result—a cavity-free smile? Are you tired of the endless cycle of filling cavities just to find more cavities pop up? Do you find yourself asking, “Why me?” If you struggle to maintain your oral health or simply want to understand more about how dental caries (cavities) develop, this book is for you. Using the best science in the field of caries research and personalized medicine, Dr. Kutsch offers a detailed look at the causes behind your specific issues and why addressing only the symptoms isn’t effective. "All you ever wanted to know about how and why we get cavities! Why Me? is an easy-to-read book with easy-to-follow charts and diagrams shared at a level of science everyone can understand. Several well-formatted photos of patients' teeth and helpful written descriptions to drive home the point. The layout, tips, reference sections, and the questionnaire at the back of the book will lead a reader to better discussions with their own dentists." - Nonfiction Authors Association Book Awards Program.

A very good, easily digestible explanation of what causes tooth decay. It’s written for the layperson to understand, but provides plenty of insight to dental professionals to remind them of ways to try and prevent the most common disease in the world, dental caries.

Learned a lot about the different ways dental caries develop. I had no idea how important it is to maintain a high oral pH. I definitely know how to take better care of my teeth after reading this!

I learned a surprising amount and was a lot more interested in it than I thought I would be. My dentist gave me the book when he heard that I like to read 🤣
