To be fair, anyone with elderly parents will tell you, multiple dental visits a year is normal. Bridges, implants, dentures, etc.
Folk wisdom is cute, but this borders on willful ignorance.
He’s an 80 year old man who bathes his teeth in a dozen diet cokes a day.
And we can all see that his fake-ass, extensively capped and veneered teeth, aren’t showing signs of phosphoric acid damage. And that kind of damage doesn’t happen in the span of a year, let alone needing to be addressed multiple times in one year.
Just because you can think of a reasonable explanation doesn’t mean it’s the most reasonable or likely explanation in this case.
It’s not folk wisdom. Old ass people, who can pay for it, get more restorative dental work and are more likely to be dealing with diseased oral tissue, etc.
And we can all see that his fake-ass, extensively capped and veneered teeth, aren’t showing signs of phosphoric acid damage.

Psst. Dental work needs several visits for serious stuff, and are often spread out.
All of that was done decades ago. It’s not the dentist.
