thanks for your query, i have gone through your query. the increased incidence of decay could be because of reduced salivary secretion or malaligned teeth or poor oral hygiene. consult a oral physician and get your self examined and find out the cause. you should get your teeth cleaned and examined once in 6-8months. you can use topical flouride application and use of mouth washes. i hope my answer will help you. take care.

Hello:)Welcome to HCM.

Frequent incidence of cavities can be of several reasons.This can be familial due to food habits,crooked teeth,poor oral hygiene,poor calcification,tooth anatomy(deep pits) etc.

You can follow these steps to improve it overall.

Maintain proper oral hygiene, use mouthwash once in 3 days.Flossing once daily is appreciable. Go for a fiber diet.

Sugars/sweets can be taken along with meal.Do not have sugary foods in mouth for a long time.Gargle after every meal.

Chew on sugar free chewing gums.Have flouride varnish for your teeth.

Get a checkup done with your dentist every 6 months for any early detectable caries.

Regards.
