very concerned about the holes im seeing in my teeth. i've got at the very least 4 cavities that i can see with my eye that have me really worried. I'll start with the worst:
my 2nd molar on the upper right has a big cavitiy on the side touching my cheek
next my lower left canine has a cavity on the front just above the gumline
then my 1st molar on the upper left has a pretty big cavity on the side facing the tooth in front of it
Then recently i've noticed another one forming on the side of my upper incisor on the upper left. it is especially hard to keep clean because it's on the side and it's getting deeper.
Also i have recently found out that i was prescribed 4 times the legal limit of adderall xr, and i had been taking 120mg for the last 5 years(adderall xr is basically 4 different types of meth when you get down to it), so idk if that might have weakened my teeth. I've already spent a fortune on my teeth, any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a bunch!

I hope the previous person response was just joking ... cause that's a really pointless thing to say.
First start rinsing your mouth with warm salt water... after you brush in the morning and at night. This will help clean things up a bit and help minimize bacteria from spreading around. It also makes heal any cuts that are in your mouth.
You may want to have your teeth cleaned also and get a mouthwash with fluoride- this will help strengthen your teeth.
You may also want to see about taking calcium pills or some sort.
There are clinics in many cities that you can contact to help with any dentistry you need. You can contact your local low income clinic- they will help you find a dentist or have a dentist

If all your teeth have to go, then ask about implant supported dentures, these usually require only a couple of implants that the denture fits onto, these will be far more comfortable and you won't have any plastic covering your upper palate. OR Try and get a referral to a dental school (i'm not sure how that works in Canada) but you may be a good case study for a student. Your treatment will take longer, but costs would be far less....

Thats terrible!!
There is a health benefits company that is only $11.95 a month and they can save you up to 80% on your dental work. I use them since my family got denied for dental and they have saved us hundreds.
The $11.95 plan includes, Vision, Prescription and Chiropractic care. Be careful not all health benefits companies are legit or will save you money. This company has been in business for 14 years and BBB member and have over 1.5 million customers.
I wish you the best of luck,
Christy
Oh they also have Medical benefits for under $60.00 a month and thats for an entire household that even includes the dental.

I don't think you can save your teeth AND save money unless you have some really good insurance. But definately go seen a dentist or you'll regret it! don't worry about the money as medical problems seem to get worse if you don't take care of your mouth.
