Why are my teeth so bad?!?

Question:

Ok, I have ALWAYS taken extremely good care of my teeth. I went to the dentist today and he put 4 more fillings in my teeth. already have one in almost every tooth now. My wisdom teeth are rotted because my gums kept swelling over them so i couldn't reach them with a toothbrush and have to be pulled next week ALSO, I had a root canal done about 2 yrs ago, that he said needs to be pulled out completely and replaced with an implant. Are bad teeth hereditary? My dad has bad teeth, as does my grandmother. My mom and brother haven't ever had a cavity. How much does it cost to get your wisdom teeth pulled. Also how much is an implant going to cost. I have good dental insurance, but still as a newlywed couple my hubby and I don't have very much money, all of it goes towards monthly bills and insurance. So I'm just curious how much I can expect to pay for all this. I probably will have to wait a while to get the implant, but I need to get the wisdom teeth and the 1 bad tooth pulled asap.

Man, thats rough. It can be genetic. I had great teeth all my life untill I turned 21 and didn't have dental insurance so it wasn't untill 2 years later that I went for another cleaning and check up. In those two years I grew 17 cavities. The dentist said many would go away with regular flossing but there were 4 that needed immediate attention (fillings). It's 6 years later now and I don't have dental insurance at the moment and I have to have more work done. I think the key is those regular 6 month checkups that I had untill I was 21.
The price varies. Unfortunately its hard to ''shop around'' for dental work, just getting a check up costs money and who wants to run around getting them done anyway. For that serious of dental work you're looking at several thousands of dollars.
Good luck.

first ask your dentist for the best toothpaste(it must fit with the type of your teeth.Bad hygenne of your teeth may cause heart problems or diabet.teeth to teeth is different some teeth get "sick" more easily than others.this is geneticall
