the decay and breakage of several teeth have been broken due to years of neglect and high consumption of sugary snacks 2 back teeth have been filled in but a third one on the upper jaw has a hole coming from the gumline but now the bottom front teeth are also chipping away at the gumline and much of my back teeth have been stained but also carrying a hardish substance. unfortunatly i am a very anxious person by nature and as a result i get extremely nervous when it comes to doctors and dentists.

Answer: Chipped teeth and decay Hi,After reading your query I suggest that you visit your dentist for the following:-Scaling and polishing: cleanup so that the hard tartar and stain get removed improving the overall hygiene of your oral cavity.-Fillings where ever necessaryThese procedures are almost painless due to advanced techniques and instrumentation.Chipping at the bottom of the teeth near the gum line maybe due to acidity or sometimes the hardish tartar which accumulates on the inside of the teeth near the gums also feels like chipped teeth leaving a rough surface. If its the latter then a clean up will resolve the issue. A thorough examination by your dentist is advised.

Answer: Severe tooth decay Dear helpsy, So sorry to hear about your dental problems. Sugar addiction is a very common problem which affects an enormous portion of our population. Sounds like you need a good dentist. Being an anxious person by nature, you should consider visiting a few dentists. There will be an expense for each examination; however, you should be able to get a copy of your x-rays and bring them to subsequent appointments. This way you can find someone with whom you are comfortable which is important because it seems that you will be spending significant time with that person.
