I had to get a tooth pulled (lower left molar second to last) because I chipped it while skateboarding and didn't go to the dentist and for some reason it got an abscess. So when I went to the dentist, I got the tooth behind it filled because there was a cavity. Now that tooth that I got filled seems like there is something wrong with it, it doesn't hurt at all but I have a funny taste in my mouth and I know it's coming from that tooth. It's not affecting my breath because I do not have bad breath but it's just a funny taste in my mouth. I don't have insurance so I am worried about that. Also my wisdom teeth are coming in, could that have an effect on my tooth's health? I feel I am going to be looking at a huge bill if I go to get this fixed because for some reason I feel that I might need a root canal and getting my wisdom teeth taken out is going to cost a fortune.
I have had trouble with my teeth my entire life (I'm only 22 now) and I take excellent care of my teeth. I brush 3-4 times a day for 3 minutes, I floss everyday, I don't eat candy, drink cokes, or coffee and I eat a bunch of fruit. My mom had problems with her teeth her entire life as well and she took care of them. Are there any hereditary diseases or something that gives teeth poor health for no real reason? It really irritates me because I take such good care of my teeth and a friend of mine has never once had a cavity and has perfect teeth, even though he eats tons of candy, and all he drinks is cokes and he says he like brushes his teeth once a day and sometimes even less.
