First off I admit that I haven't seen a dentist in 10 years.
I don't smoke or drink, but I do drink green tea, iced tea and soda.
I brush twice a day but my flossing habits are poor, I only floss the teeth in the front and I also don't floss long enough. I have no sensitivity, bleeding or pain.
I have several teeth with different degrees of enamel loss. My left upper incisor has about 1/3 of enamel loss. Then on the bottom of each side, 3 molars have some enamel loss. About a month ago I started using pronamel, yeah I know a little way too late, haha.
My question to the dentists is will those teeth have to be extracted or can they be saved? I think I need something called veneers. I am going to make an appointment soon with a dentist who also does cosmetic dentistry so I can
take care of all of my dental needs in 1 place. From that point on forward I will make it a habit of getting regular checkups and 2x year cleanings.
I don't think I have a dental phobia, just more of a case of laziness. When I was little I did have several cavities filled and I got through it. I am 41 yrs old now and have
a higher pain tolerance then when I was little.
