Hey I'm 23 and I went like 7-9 years without brushing, and recently started going back to get my teeth repaired.

I feel like I'm bugging my dentist by asking all sorts of problems like...
-are my teeth falling out?
-is my enamel still there?
-is my tooth secured in the bone?
-do I have pariodontitis?
-are my teeth fixable?
-also will they ever look good
-why is the inner lining of my cheek all of a sudden teasing like metal and has a rough consistency?
-am I close to having dentures or implants

I had a deep cleaning about 3 weeks ago because of some very minor tartar build up on my bottom teeth

I've been brushing for the past 2-3 months 2 times a day, and flossing each time because I'm paranoid. But after the cleaning and pariodantal probing (which I got a lot of "2-3-2's") my gums and teeth have felt like glass

I also had a cavity underneath a crown I got 9 years ago and 5 days ago I got that replaced and it hurts so much

I guess I want to know if my teeth will every go back to being normal
 
are my teeth falling out?
No
-is my enamel still there?
Of course
-is my tooth secured in the bone?
Which one?
-do I have pariodontitis?
Doesn't look like it
-are my teeth fixable?
Yes
-also will they ever look good
I don't think they look bad right now. Is there something specific you don't like?
-why is the inner lining of my cheek all of a sudden teasing like metal and has a rough consistency?
No idea, sorry.
-am I close to having dentures or implants
Not from that photo.
 
Which one?
I'm kind of worried about my lateral insizers, they seem to hurt the most when I close down do to my overbite and crowding, and it pushes both of them out
 
Also my bottom teeth feel like there's no gums on the inside

Didn't you just have some hygiene work done? Having a load of tartar removed can make things feel a bit weird afterwards.

Ask your dentist about this then. Not something I can help with via the internet.
 
@Gordon thank you so much. I appreciate the time you've taken address my concerns
