Long story short I had braces for a long time as a kid and parents never really talked about oral health. I got scammed by my dentist post 6 years of having braces and they said I had 13 cavities. Got those filled and have had at least 10 more filled since then I lost track bc I got used to fillings. I could have less than 25 but I’m assuming it’s about that many bc I can’t remember. My teeth are in relatively good shape from what my current dentist has said but she says I should really be careful to not further weaken my enamel. I’m so incredibly frightened about the possibility of losing my teeth or having dentures before 30 or 40. I have a filling on almost every tooth. I’ve been brushing, flossing, mouthwash, and my 6 month checkups. I’ve decreased coffee to 2 cups in the morning and water after. Then brush. Please advice am I doomed to lose my teeth? This truly keeps me up at night. I try so hard and I’m so scared nothing I do will help.
