Hello doctor,
I have done proper dental care as followed by norms since childhood but was diagnosed with two root canals when I was 15, only one root canal had reached the surface. Now I am 18, and my recent visit to a dentist revealed that I have six cavities building up (one of my root canals has still not surfaced). I do not know where I am going wrong. Is it possible that my teeth are inherently weak and need more care? What should I do?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Teeth having multiple cavities suggests improper maintenance. It could either be due to improper brushing or too much of sticky food or a hereditary feature.
You need to just visit your dentist and get to know the correct way of brushing and also have a meticulously good oral hygiene.
Since the cavities have already started, get them filled and have the remaining teeth taken care of well.
Follow certain tips like rinsing after each time you eat or drink.
