Why are my teeth so bad?!?

Ok, I have ALWAYS taken extremely good care of my teeth. I went to the dentist today and he put 4 more fillings in my teeth. already have one in almost every tooth now. My wisdom teeth are rotted because my gums kept swelling over them so i couldn't reach them with a toothbrush and have to be pulled next week ALSO, I had a root canal done about 2 yrs ago, that he said needs to be pulled out completely and replaced with an implant. Are bad teeth hereditary? My dad has bad teeth, as does my grandmother. My mom and brother haven't ever had a cavity. How much does it cost to get your wisdom teeth pulled. Also how much is an implant going to cost. I have good dental insurance, but still as a newlywed couple my hubby and I don't have very much money, all of it goes towards monthly bills and insurance. So I'm just curious how much I can expect to pay for all this. I probably will have to wait a while to get the implant, but I need to get the wisdom teeth and the 1 bad tooth pulled asap.

Why are my teeth so bad?!?
Man, thats rough. It can be genetic. I had great teeth all my life untill I turned 21 and didn't have dental insurance so it wasn't untill 2 years later that I went for another cleaning and check up. In those two years I grew 17 cavities. The dentist said many would go away with regular flossing but there were 4 that needed immediate attention (fillings). It's 6 years later now and I don't have dental insurance at the moment and I have to have more work done. I think the key is those regular 6 month checkups that I had untill I was 21.


The price varies. Unfortunately its hard to ''shop around'' for dental work, just getting a check up costs money and who wants to run around getting them done anyway. For that serious of dental work you're looking at several thousands of dollars.


Good luck.
Reply:first ask your dentist for the best toothpaste(it must fit with the type of your teeth.Bad hygenne of your teeth may cause heart problems or diabet.teeth to teeth is different some teeth get "sick" more easily than others.this is geneticall
Reply:The cause in hereditary cannot be denied. But one should also be honest to make a self check, like keeping away from soda, cola, etc for some months to see the difference. You would be lucky if your insurance covers dental implants. The cost of dental treatment is increasingly becoming unbearable for many, forcing them to look for options of Dental Work Overseas during annual leave. The internet search for Best Deal Affordable Dental Treatment some times presents attractively cheaper dental care.

UR tooth Problem can have some heriditary stuff... It's a fact that dental health depends on some factors like our health status, food habits, cleanliness, etc... But some persons cant get rid off such problems even if they try hard.. tht can be a disease or heriditary stuff..





If UR Dentist advised 4 an Implantation, tht's a good choice... If U R going 2 remove all the teeth, it's gonna be a difficult task.. Because generally Implantation is a long process.. I'll explain in brief..


Tooth Implantation is a permenant tachnique. It's done by drilling on the gums and in to the bone and fixing an Implant(a 2-3 cm long metal-alloy piece) in to the bone. the other end of the bone will be exposedto outside, on which tooth-crown(Porcelain) is fixed... But it's not a fast process as it seems... after Implantaion surgery it need 2 be heal.. so it takes 6-8 months. To replace all teeth no need to place implant for all the teeth.. So we do 1 implant for 2-3 teeth. and bridge all the crowns together... There R chances ofrejection, inflamation, infection etc.So Patient need 2 take prescribed meicine %26amp; rest.





Advantage of Implantation teeth are... It's 3 times stronger than normal teeth, Looks like normal teeth(we cant differenciate origianl from porcelain) ,No further pain as for usual artificial set teeth.





But the process is a lil bit expenssive. Here in India it costs around 4000 Rs for 1 Implant. For entire Teeth replacement, It costs around 20000-25000 Rs.(1 US$ = 43 Rs) I think it's more expenssive in US than US converted indian money.





Live Healthy,let live..


Regards...
Reply:Yes, bad teeth are inherited and in your case maybe being stupid is inherited, I have not met your family. At any rate you need to ask the dentist, they spend a considerable time in school for things like this. But if you ask me you could pay $100.000, see why you need to ask the dentist.
Reply:Yes, gum and teeth problems are somewhat hereditary. I had gingivitis for a few months but now I'm trying to take better care of my mouth. The people on my dad's side of the family are prone to dental problems, so that must have been why I've been having gingivitis. It just means that you must take better care of your mouth than some people.
