Tbh so much of dental health comes down to luck/genetics. I went to the dentist for the first time in almost years and all I needed was one filling and a very good polish. I would recommend getting those chips seen to if at all possible tbh, even if it's just to file them down, because otherwise they'll just get worse
luck, genetics, the composition of tapwater where you grew up, how much time/effort/money your parents dumped into your teeth as a child, how much maintenance you did on your own, etc etc.
the luxury bones demand sacrifice!
wish I could afford dental implants.
It's not your fault. Although maybe don't eat any more popcorn or granola and shit like that if you can.
yeah but also i saw my dad break an entire tooth in half eating a soft roll.
especially once you've got root canal'd teeth, eating is gambling
K, we're only eatin' smoothies now.
Well, I lost two teeth getting punched in the face at a bar so it can happen to the best of us
Should check with some of the dentists in your area though, some of them do pro bono restorative work and even if not, you might get some caps or a crown or something
In bad country, every bag of popcorn comes with a risk of medical debt
Seriously, it's fucked up. Ah well nothing I can do now :/
