And it's even worse cause those are lilies adult teeth and all the back ones are capped. I have terrible teeth because my mom never took the time to teach me how to brush as a toddler and when my adult teeth came in the foundation was set and they were ruined. She was a single mom to 7!kids just like Jess and me being number 6, I must have fell through the cracks. I've vowed to never let that happen to my daughter no matter what. I wake her up if she hasn't brushed

They aren't her adult teeth. She won't lose those molars for a long time. Normally they don't fill baby teeth but those molars will be there for quite a few more years so they have to.
My daughter is a few months older and has fillings in all those back molars as well. My husband has had a cavity in almost every tooth and has had so many problems with his teeth. He also had very crooked teeth. She has, unfortunately, inherited all of that from him (and all of his family...my MIL has even apologized ha). She even had an extra adult tooth growing sideways in her gum so she had to have her front baby teeth pulled and a tooth surgically removed at age 4. We have another daughter who is 5 and has never had a cavity. I'm 27 and have never had one. I also have naturally straight teeth. I lucked out in the teeth department and it seems my 5 year old did as well. My children brush their teeth at the same times, for the same amount of time, and we watch them. They also eat the same exact things.
I don't doubt that Jess is very lazy with their hygiene since she can't even keep bed sheets on their beds but it isn't always poor hygiene or bad parenting. We pay out of pocket for the white ones so that no one can tell. We don't want her having a mouth full of silver.
I used to judge and think cavities were just because you didn't brush your teeth until I had my own children and watched how vastly different their experiences have been so far.
