I used to have such nice teeth too. I have 2 chips now, 1 missing tooth, and one that’s broken. I haven’t been to the dentist in well over a decade and that’s my fault. [sigh] I really let my health go to shit.

    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!

    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
