Since lockdown I've broken 7 teeth. These teeth have badicslly broken in my mouth, not during eating. Nor have I had an accident that could cause it.
Prior to this I have not broken one tooth.
I eat a good diet with low sugar, no alcohol or cigarettes and no fizzy drinks. I eat the recommended amount of fruit and veg.
I look after my teeth properly. I use a good toorhbrush and tooth paste, floss and use mouth wash. My dental hygienist is happy with me.
This hapoened to my mum in her 40s too ( she passed away 19 years ago so I can't ask her advice, and my dad's memory is poor )
I've had 4 of the broken teeth removed so far ( this has been slowed down by Covid). I had a bottom tooth removed today. It was so painful and it was a struggle to get it out. My face is nicely swollen. In 3 weeks I get 2 more out and I'm dreading it.
I have a dental plate that will get remade to have 4 teeth on it.
All my molars on the bottom left are gone. I don't know if anything will be done about it.
Today the dentist has asked about getting my Vit D and Vit B12 checked. However getting my Gp to do anything is a nightmare.
Does anybody have any suggestions??
Apologies for the mini essay.
