How good/bad are your teeth for your age? Feeling down :(?!


Question: How good/bad are your teeth for your age? Feeling down :(?
I finally faced my fears of the dentist when part of a tooth chipped off. It didn't hurt but they "sanded it down" and fitted an inlay thing that will be made and put on in 2 wks. They put a temporary thing on It to protect it It's kind of starting to hurt, which is scaring & depressing me.

I've also got other fillings around the place, despite trying hard to look after my teeth.

I'm only 29 and feel like my teeth are a mess. Starting to feel really down about it :(

Do other ppl my age have teeth problems?

Answers:

Trust me my dear... your teeth are not bad. Completely normal. We see much much worse everyday. If the tooth is starting to hurt you may need to see the dr again. It could be they need to adjust the temporary a little. Just take care of your teeth the best you can. Brush, floss, rinse and get your cleanings and check ups regularly



i'm 16
my teeth aren't in that bad condition, i have had a few fillings, but i think that's it. and i'm gonna get braces in a few weeks. they don't look that bad but i'd rather them be straighter so i'm getting them. i have a big fear of the dentist too but i just thought i really needed to get it all sorted.. because i know i'll be thankful in a few years..i went to the orthodontist when i was 13 but i never ended up getting braces cause i didn't want the pain but now i figured i may aswell because i'll just keep wishing that i did it when i was younger. i don't know if this is what you mean by your teeth are a mess, but all i'm saying is, fix them before it's too late. it's not too late now. i don't necessarily mean braces because you havent mentioned that but just in general, whatever needs to be fixed, do it now and you'll be thankful later on
