Welcome to the group and all I can say if I could do it over, I'd sure do things differently with dental health and what I put in my mouth...too much sugar and carbs all my early life.
You are so young and do everything to keep your teeth I say.

I'm 81 and as I said if I had another chance I'd do things different re: dental health..I stay away from sugars/carbs big time and use a very health toothpaste made with Coconut Oil, buy Now Foods brand and have not seen a dentist in going on 10 yrs give or take. It's up to us to change things ..

I've had a couple root canals in my life and personally not a fan of implants.

Do all you can to preserve your teeth and dental health. Antioxidants live Vit C and Grape Seed Extract are WONDERFUL support for gum health. I've been taking these for decades...good gums here.

I speak from years on this earth and what I've been thru and where I am today.
