I apologize if this is out of place in this forum- but I’m new to this- and I don’t know another place where there are so many dentists/dental students that can give their input.
I’m used to having good dental hygeine. I’m 19 and (apparently, up until now) have never had a cavity. I floss regularly and brush my teeth 2, sometimes 3, times a day.
I haven’t been to my dentist in about a year because I’ve been busy with school and work- and in that- I’ve been stress eating- eating more candy than i usually do. And it’s caught up with me. I don’t drink soda however (haven’t in almost 4 years). Recently I’ve noticed I’ve been getting more and more food stuck in my back teeth, and I don’t like what I see when I take a look back there. Looks like I’ve definitly got some cavities and ugliness going on in there. Can someone tell me? Are those holes cavities? Can they be reversed or fixed without fillings? What do I do?!
Btw, sorry for the awful pictures- my iPhone can only do so much.
