Yes and no, most people have good teeth but bad habits!
If you have most of your fillings in your side teeth, then you are one of these people. The dental x-ray shows the fillings highlighted in blue – these are the bright spots in the picture!

Learning to brush your teeth right takes practice!
The window display – or front teeth, gets a lot of attention, but when it comes to the side we get lulled into a false sense of security by the fresh taste of toothpaste and don’t take as much time to clean them properly. This enables plaque build-up, which eventually results in cavities and periodontitis.

Bad teeth are actually very rare!
Very few people have congenitally bad teeth, and in these cases all the teeth are affected, even the front teeth.
