My current dentist's attitude is that if it ain't broke, don't fix it. I had zero fillings until....I moved to Georgia for a year. Suddenly my mouth was a minefield of cavities. I had two fillings in one year. Then I moved back to Illinois and resumed seeing my original dentist...no fillings since.

(I have had two root canals and crowns on two teeth I broke in half as a kid, but the root canals were the direct result of pain and infection and the crowns were finally getting permanent work done my parents refused to pay for when I was a kid.)

I kind of suspect the Georgia dentist was finding problems to ensure income.
