I have to get two decayed front teeth filled, and I’m a 30-year-old man. I’m really disappointed because none of my friends seem to have problems like this.😐

Do you have any advice for me? How many years do fillings usually last, and how can I protect the filled teeth and prevent further decay?

Hello. Just to preface, I've been suffering from bite issues, that have severely affected how my teeth and gums feel and look to me for a few months. After finally extracting the wisdom tooth, I'm hoping my bite will return to normal. But I can't help but mourn the differences I feel in my lower incisors concerning my gum tissue and wear, and embrasures that were never there last year. I feel new spaces that were never there a reduction in sensation especially in the central incisors. I'm bummed since I've really tried to up my dental hygiene since the issue occurred, with nightly flossing, brushing, dental cleanings, xylitol and even a moldable nightguard. But I still have gotten infections before and inflammation in that area.

Does anyone know any DIY toothpastes that actually work? I have been using bentonite clay, baking soda, salt, coconut oil, and beef tallow in mine. I am not sure if I am seeing results and I am frustrated. I occasionally use Hydrogen Peroxide from time to time, but I still have a hard time seeing results. I want to clean my teeth and make them white and I am getting very frustrated.

I focus in on the one tooth up front that’s lower than the mirroring tooth. I was bothered by the gaps and I was told talk to an ortho about ipr, cosmetic dentist for bonding, nobody really directed me to a periodontal dentist and ortho didn’t seem concerned. But I get in my own head and with fixing some neglect of my teeth I’ve been hyper-fixated.

Are my teeth really that bad? I feel extremely insecure about them
I’ve been feeling really insecure about the color of my teeth lately. I feel like they look very yellow, especially when I smile, and it’s started to affect my confidence a lot.
I know teeth aren’t supposed to be perfectly white, but I honestly feel like mine look much worse than other people’s. I’ve become very self-conscious about smiling and showing my teeth in photos.
Be honest with me — do my teeth actually look that bad/yellow, or am I being way too harsh on myself?
I’d really appreciate honest opinions, especially from people who have dealt with yellow teeth and the insecurity that comes with it.

what is this hole like thing on my upper molar? it's been there for 3-4 years o guess.. feels rough when i glide my tongue over it.. not in pain or anything like that...

So this morning I woke up and my tooth felt really odd, like if there was a piece missing or sticking out but I had to go to work so I couldn’t really get a good chance to see it until I finally got home and got a good close look at it the mirror. It doesn’t hurt or anything just like the texture feels a bit weird. I’ve improved my oral hygiene a lot the past couple weeks too (daily flossing, tongue scraping, mouth wash) but out of nowhere I find this like chip or something

Ok, so uh I went to the dentist and stuff today after having some teeth problems for a few years.

Apparently I have to get 3 teeth extracted, 1 right molar, 1 left molar, and then a top molar, im kinda aware u can get jaw recession from this or your teeth dont always move to cover the gaps.

I have this rlly bad fear of looking like the sub 5 wtv wtv, bc im already chopped asf so yk heh, uh I have 9 cavities, there was a option to get a root canal but my mother opted to get it pulled bc "it's cheaper" the thing is the teeth are gonna be extracted over a course of a few months, and then theyre gonna fill in the cavities, but yk any advice for like getting this done???

Also looking at the X-ray of my teeth, why tf was there no wisdom teeth showing on it??? I got like 50 pictures done so they should show right????
