Similar happened to one of mine, dentist said it’s because I grind and clench my teeth
Implants are SO EXPENSIVE! Maybe hoping to pocket some cash themselves!I'm so happy there's a thread for this. 32 and I have a missing tooth when I really smile. hated this for years. The dentist is pushing me for an implant and braces. Every time I go the dentist I need new fillings, 3/4/5/6. My teeth probably sound worst then they look in my head. but I kinda had a red bull and sugary drinks thing through my 20s like a lot. I go the dentist every 6 months, I'm super conscious about my teeth!! But I'm kinda torn if I actually trust my dentist
Omg. Fell out. That’s literally what my nightmares consist of.
I’m similar. I rarely go (embarrassingly) and never had a filling or anything. I had wonky incisors though and got Invisalign so sorted now. I think it really is genetic, I’ve also never broken a bone or anything so maybe it’s just to do with general bone density and strength?
I got to 28 before I got a teeny fracture in my wrist and ruined my no broken bones streak. I'm pretending it doesn't count.
This exactly. I've got friends who are non identical twins but they look pretty similar. Very same lifestyle growing up but one has perfectly straight white strong teeth and the other has the opposite. The one with naturally bad teeth gives them a lot more care and attention. But that's life and you can't do anything about the genetics you were given.
Apparently you don’t inherit bad teeth but you can inherit bad saliva which is rubbish at neutralising your mouth
Agreed, I thought at this point we'd have some kind of magic laser that automatically rebuilds your teeth but guess notIt astounds me that in this day and age we don't have anything really to repair / replace enamel and the best they do is add composite that breaks off often within 1-18 months. I think it's a conspiracy as an enamel that could be painted on would put many dentists out of business
The less you have done the better imo as it starts a process of ongoing and costly maintenance for the rest of your life. And don't go to Turkey to get your teeth filed down to pegs as teeth are part of your overall health! These influencers only do it because it's free for them.
I kinda think there's something in the root canal conspiracy theories and how they let something dead remain in your mouth. But that should go on the conspiracy theories thread
Lidl versions of nked bars are the work of the devil as they often have a bit of the hard nut shell and that's fractured a tooth. The fruit and nut bars are generally horrific for teeth with how they stick anyway.
and multiple fillings.Poor you. I think I’m not far off root canals. Just the thought makes me feel sickAgreed, I thought at this point we'd have some kind of magic laser that automatically rebuilds your teeth but guess not
My teeth are terrible, I take care of them, but they're just weak. I had 3 root canals by the age of 18
Oh my!! That’s amazingI’m 28 and have had 3 fillings, my teeth could be whiter but I hated brushing as a kid
Deffo agree with the genetics thing, my Nan passed away a few weeks ago, she was 90 and had never seen a dentist in her life ! And she would eat bones from chicken and all sorts she would never throw out food
