fuck. making mistakes with my teeth always makes me so fucking anxious
One thing I also want to add as I understand the worry about doing dental care "wrong" or not well enough (I've struggled with this all my life) is that with age this also just happens and it has a lot to do with stuff like environmental factors and genetics etc. I got myself on E for perimeno about 6 months ago and my gums are a lot happier now, so it isn't necessarily about the doing, my care routine is the same.
My dentist said that around mid age teeth just sort of start falling apart and for some it is a lot sooner and more dramatic than for others, regardless of how much care they have done. All sorts of things like acid reflux, stress, hormones, nutritional deficiences and even longterm dieting can show up in our teeth.
