So worried about my teeth?

Question

before I start, let me tell you, Im gonna sound really bad... ok so i'm 14, and super busy. I know its not an excuse to not brush my teeth everyday, but yea. And I havent been to the dentist in a good 2 years... (I know, Im terrible) I dont get to it everyday and now my teeth are hurting really bad in two places.. I told my mom and she said she was going to schedule a dentist appointment. So I just have to deal with this for a while more, but now Im thinking about how bad my teeth have gotten. I have 4 cavities already... but now Im afraid I've gotten more! and Im 14, so Im worried that my teeth are going to rot out and I wont have them when Im older... ( I sound like a little kid, but Im really concerned about my teeth because I dance and I sorta need them for pictures and smiling lol) My mind is over thinking this whole thing and the other day I thought about something really scary, that my cavity count has gone into the double digits... I mean i know thats not true, but now that I thought about it, I cant stop.. Im so worried, does anybody have ANY advice to help me feel better and then get onto a better dental hygiene routine? thanks (: <-- toothless smile

Answer 1

To make you feel better, my dad when he was your age had 14 cavities at the same time when he went to the dentist once and had to get them all filled in at the same time so you are not alone my friend. As for you dental habits this is simply something you have to get into yourself, one way I got into it was when I got a really advance electric toothbrush. I thought it was sooooo cool (I know sad right) that I kept on using it. Also keep in mind that everyone's mouth is different and is shaped differently, some may never get cavities and some might get them all the time it's just part of life and it can ve easily fixed so don't fret and smile :3

Answer 2

You can't get rid of cavities in you have them, but if you don't just be brushing everyday, flossing and mouthwash. Teeth affect people a lot. Just keep good ga it's of hygiene.
