Seeking some ideas about the frequency with which I have had to have

Three within the last year. They were all on molars, all of which had
crowns
that were several years old.

I brush twice a day and floss everyday and am 56 years old.

Is it just aging?

This seems stupid but has there been any indication that using
Sonicare
toothbrushes has increased this the incidence. My wife and I both
started
using this brush about 5 years ago and she too has had to have 3 root
canals
over the last couple of years.

Thanks.
