I'm Really lost with this..?!
Question: I'm Really lost with this...?
I'm 15 and i have REALLY bad teeth like a cavity in each tooth, the dentist told me on top of that my teeth are SUPER sensitive, and i need braces my teeth aren't that ugly they just buck out from me sucking my thumb. I know a trainwreck right.? Well any way i got this crest Proheath night toothpaste, and it protects against alot and i just kinda stopped brushing my teeth every night and my teeth just started hurting, if i brush and floss every night will that really help my teeth.? And can you get rid of cavities by brushing your teeth or what cause i completely don't get what cavities are or anything i just know you get them from too much candy which i eat alot!

yes. practice good hygiene, they arn't making these things up. cavities can be genetic, you can be more capable of getting theme due to your parents. once you have a cavity you have to get it filled, they just don't go away, a dentist has to take care of it. brush and floss every night.Health Question & Answer
If you brush and floss every night it will prevent further damage to your teeth, Brushing your teeth won't heal your cavities, you have to get them filled or they will continue to bother you and only get worse. I suggest you brush your teeth 2 - 3x a day.Health Question & Answer
