So I haven't reached the phobia stage of teeth problems after my procedure so I figured I'd ask right now and get ahead of it

Context
I got a crown placed and a filling done on my right side
-crown on bottom molar, second from the left
-filling top right directly above it
I also asked to receive an X-ray of my wisdom teeth cause they're causing pain

I guess my questions are the following
-are my teeth secured in the bone
-should I even be worried about them being loose? Like am I justified in worrying?
-what ways can I increase the health of them other than brushing and flossing twice a day?
(I brush with an ultrasonic brush and floss twice a day already)

Looks like they are.

No

Do you smoke? Best thing you can do for your gums is to stop. Jury is out on vaping but looks like it might be slightly better than smoking and worse than not vaping.
 
@Gordon good news is I don't do either I just had a nasty habit of drinking a lot of red bull and I stopped that a couple months ago
