I am exactly the same, my mouth is a never ending saga of crowns, root canal and (lately) agonising infection yet I am fastidious about oral hygiene and limiting sugars etc. Ironically they appear nicely regular and even when I smile, yet look like a steampunkesque metal trap further in. I strongly suspect 30 years of steroid inhalers haven't helped. Also I have inherited fine hair so think there's a link there too (thanks mum+dad.)
My mum started losing her teeth in her forties.. and had hardly any when she died at 76.... She had always been a heavy smoker so I think that was her problem.. I however have been very lucky.. and hope to stay that way.... I never go to bed without cleaning mine even if Im exhausted ... its a habit I dont ever want to break, and used to brush them four times a day but I read it takes the enamel off, too much brushing, so just once during the day and night now...

People's hearts, kidneys, livers, eyes, knees... fail for many people. Teeth fail as well. Some is due to whether or not you drank fluoridated water, genetics, diet, health (infections such are hepatitis... are terrible on teeth), drugs and/or medications, smoking and other factors. Yeah, it's the pits but it is what it is.
hi, have you tried having your treatment done under sedation?? it must be so awful to feel like you cant even smile because you feel you cant show your teeth.
I know this is an older post..but could be too much fluoride, commerical toothpastes are not the greatest for sure...lots of unhealthy ingredients. I make my own coconut oil toothpaste and add baking soda to the mixture. I have a gum and tooth health thread here.
And perhaps eating too much sugars and carbs, I overdid this most of my earlier life and I've paid dearly.

Rinse your mouth with 1 teaspoon of bleach and 8 oz of water before you go to bed don't wash it out with water after you brush and floss. It taste like pool water not that bad I have had gum and tooth decay for years until I started using this 6 months ago. Is Diluted Clorox Bleach Mouthrinse safe? - Stephen A. Lawrence, D.D.S. Inc.
