Are they too far gone?

I'll be honest, I've never taken care of my teeth, and now it looks like I'm paying for it. Is it too late to care now? Is there anything I can do myself or is this something only a dentist can fix? Can a dentist even fix it? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Cavities around the neck of a tooth can often/generally be repaired with GICs, the best of those being the light-cured resin-reinforced ones.

Go get your teeth cleaned, first- to have a better view of the oral cavity. Have an assessment of the condition of your teeth. Don’t be scared to ask questions. You need help from a dental professional, as soon as possible. I hope you don’t delay because delays could make the treatment more complicated.

If you google "rotten teeth" you will see people 100000x worse than you. I think these are totally worth putting maintenance into. You will thank yourself later!

It is never too late. I was in a worse position than you and I am so glad I made the decision to sort my teeth out. Like most people I dreaded going to the dentist, but the modern practices are so more cheerful and friendly now.
