I am just days away from turning 40 and I still do not floss properly. I went to the dentist this morning. It took a jack-hammer and sand blaster to get the gunk off of my teeth. Then the dentist looked at my x-rays and told me that I need to floss better. The cavities are due to not flossing my back teeth. I have a cavity between the back teeth on both left and right sides! He said that drinking diet coke can add to the problem. Even though it is diet it increases the acidity in my mouth and then increases cavities. I told him I stopped drinking it for several months last year. He said, "That must be when their stock went down and I had to sell". HA HA!
I also have a bottom tooth that is pressing outward and pushing one of my front top teeth out. If it continues getting worse I will have one buck tooth. I guess I am now looking at Invisalign.

sometimes I think it would be easier to just tear them all out and get dentures.
I did invisalign for my upper teeth several years ago. It was awesome.
Although I hate the dentist. I went to have three cavities filled yesterday. Only one of them was my fault though. The other two were already filled with that archaic silver filling that was leaking so the same dentist who put those in my mouth a dozen years ago had to drill them out and refill them with porcelain.
