Three roots on teeth [View all]


The dentist I was going to said everything was just fine.

However, last year he abruptly retired.

Reason: Alzheimer's disease.

So, I found another dentist to go to and OMG, seems I had TEN cavities and needed two crowns.

Seems the dentist did not notice!

What a mess I am in.

Between all of this dental work and the ongoing car mess, I'm going broke quickly.

I went to get the two crowns done only to discover that many of my teeth have three roots on them!

Does anyone else have this?

If so, how common is it?

I've had the ten cavities taken care of and the temporary crowns will be coming off next week.

I brush/floss daily.

The only reason I can figure out I suddenly got like this is due to stress as I've never had problems with my teeth in the past and no, I do not have gum disease.

Sad situation at best and a giant

I guess the dentist is so far gone he did not notice the cavities?

I just don't know what to think any more.
