Why are my teeth so unhealthy, cavities, root canals,caps,gaps,What do I do wron!
Question: Why are my teeth so unhealthy, cavities, root canals,caps,gaps,What do I do wrong?I am 32yrs female.Pl help me?
I have had to have root canals, so many fillings. When I was 10-12 I got braces and hence one tooth was removed but nothing else. I still have some gaps bcoz I didnt wear the retention plates regularly.
I dont drink milk but my nutrition isnt very bad. Last few years it has been not very good but never very bad.
I dont floss but I brush twice a day and clean my tongue as well.
Thanks

Im like you, I brush, floss, use mouthwash, go dentist regularly but somehow I managed to get gingivitus.. and i'm 17!!!
But I think it's just genetics. My Mum's sisters all have bad teeth..but all my Dad's brothers have fab teeth, and they never use mouthwash or floss, and they only brush for like, 10 seconds! So I have bad teeth, but all my brothers are fine. Not fair.. :(
And now I have lose teeth. (Getting it fixed soon though..) So I wouldn't worry, your not the only one! :)
Wy can't we have shark teeth??? They countlessly grow back all the time.. :(
You where probably born without any enamel on your teeth, it's the same with my sister as she was born with no enamels. Enamels actually protect the surface of the tooth from cavities ETC. You should ask your dentist about this; and I think you should floss from now on. (:
If I were you, I would start by getting your teeth cleaned 4 times a year, then 3, and after that no less than 2 times, but I would do 3.. brush 3,4,or 5 times a day. keep track of your calcium intake... Listerine, baking powder., hydrogen peroxide.. carry a brush with you for snacks and meals. exercise
You have to floss, brushing is only for the surface. And you need to mouthwash. But talk to you dentist about this.
HOW YOUR TEETH ARE NOW DEPENDS LARGELY ON HOW WELL YOU CARE FOR THEM

You really need to be flossing daily but, you need to contact the dentist with this.
Flossing would probably help.
Don't you think your dentist might be able to answer your questions better than folks here?
a diet full of fruit, fruit juices can be very bad for you, when i was small my mum would give me tonnes of fruit and fruit juices for me thinking it was good, at the age of i had to have 4 teeth out, i wasn't because i ate loads of sweets but because of natural sugars, look at what you eat and the amount and try going for the less sugary option like coke zero, squash instead of pure fruit juice, low sugar sweets, try not to include lemons and limes in your dirt too, they cause the enamel on your teeth to strip away leaving it unprotected i'm sorry i couldn't tell you what is wrong but i hope you like my suggestions :)
