Cavities and mouth diseases are more about what you eat/drink more than dental hygiene. Not saying you shouldn't brush your teeth, but smoking, chewing tobacco, and consuming high amounts of processed sugar does way more damage than decades of no dental visits.

All of my problems came from impacted wisdom teeth. Please don't wait until your 30s to get them removed if you even think they might cause a problem. I have permanent nerve damage in my jaw because I waited too late to remove a tooth pushing against a nerve in my lower jaw.
