Do you eat much sugar? Soda or juice? These things make a huge difference. So does age. Young people get cavities easier than somewhat older people.

Is there also not a some genetic aspect there? It is a question as I do not know but always assumed as I always did whatever and have 0 cavities or anything else that other people seem to have and I am almost 60. Never have receding gums, sensitivity, cavities or anything else since I was born.
There is a genetic aspect I'm sure. But I think most people don't avoid consequences of, say, drinking lots of soda while not brushing teeth. I bet there are nutritional factors too. If you are chronically malnourished, your teeth may be worse somehow.
I think regularly brushing your teeth and getting cleanings makes a big difference obviously. Gum disease or gingivitis mainly happens to people who have long-term dental care issues or certain bad habits.
I drink sugar free sodas all my life.
