I personally already have an extremely low rate of cavities (on the order of .05/year)

Likewise. Never had one. I don't even use toothpaste. Laplace says 1/24 chance per year.

I was actually really surprised by OP's 1.5/yr rate.

Probably a statistical fluke, but I have only ever had one cavity, and that was before I stopped using toothpaste.
