Moral of the story: buyer beware out there and if something seems out of sorts, get a second opinion. I saved hundreds of dollars by getting that second opinion and now I'm more determined than ever to have good dental hygiene!
The dentist that I now go to recommends a few things to help keep those cavities at bay. Here's his suggestions:

* Rinse in the morning and at night with Act Restoring Mouthwash:
Only One Type of Mouthwash Won’t Rinse Fluoride Away
When you use a mouthwash after you brush and floss, you might think you're completing your daily oral care routine the best way possible. But, you’re not. When you use an ordinary, non-fluoride mouthwash after brushing and flossing you may actually negate the fluoride efficacy of toothpaste. ACT Fluoride Rinses and Restoring Mouthwashes contain the highest amounts of fluoride available in rinse form without a prescription.

Regular use of ACT Anticavity Fluoride Rinse can:
- Help prevent cavities in children over six as their teeth are developing
- Strengthen tooth enamel
- Prevent white spot lesions in teens with braces
- Help protect the roots of adult teeth as their gums begin to recede
ACT Restoring™ Anticavity Mouthwash adds the additional benefit of killing bad breath germs. That’s why we call it 3 ACTs in 1 bottle.
