Three fillings at 15? Bad?!


Question: Three fillings at 15? Bad?
Have have three fillings in my mouth and i'm only 15. One of them i had recently is quite bad (near to the nerve) and the dentist said i might need root canal treatment if it gets worse. I know when i was younger i went through a stage of not brushing my teeth, this lasted about a monthish.

I pretty much ALWAYS brush my teeth twice a day. How can i make sure they're in good condition for a long time from now? I reaaallly dont want bad teeth, its gross!

Are my teeth in bad condition? I'm really worried >.<

Answers:

As well as brushing your teeth, check them with your tongue after each meal to make sure there are no bits of food stuck. This helps prevent decay in other ways as well, as saliva contains calcium and helps maintain the surface of teeth.

Diet is also important, if you don't get sufficient vitamins & minerals your body cannot maintain itself as well, & tooth decay is often one of the symptoms.

(I've been a cheese addict since childhood, so get plenty of calcium, and have had a daily multivitamin tablet since I was about 18. I'm over 50 and have had one filling & no extractions.)



well your teeth are not in bad condition since my friend has 8 :O
to keep them in good condition ALWAYS brush your teeth for 2 minutes each night and morning, use a substantial amount of tooth paste and floss and mouthwash, if you want good teeth. personally i don't floss, i just brush the back of my teeth instead and i don't use mouthwash because its minging!! instead i keep the toothpaste foam in my mouth for longer and don't spit it out straight away.

personal experiance xD



The best way to take care of your tooth is:
1) Floss every time after eating. If you don't have time to floss, use "Brush Picks" . See link below.
2) Brush at least 2 times a day. Three times will be perfect.
3) Before go to bed use waterpik to clean your teeth and stimulate gum - this will help make your gum healthy and strong.

If you follow these step, you will not have cavity. Follow the link to buy tools you need:

Brush three times a day, or, after you eat. Make sure to FLOSS at least once a day and use a mouth rinse with Flouride.

Its pretty common for young people to get cavities, as you all tend to eat a little more sugary products than adults.



im 18 and have five but i got most of them when i was young (cause i ate lots of sweets also drank loads of fizzy drinks) just floss and get a mouthwash also find a toothpaste that prevents caverties .



Stop getting so much semen in your teeth.
