I have not brushed my teeth regularly in 13 years, I m 21. I probably brushed twice a year. After losing a tooth in December, my dental hygiene has become important, but I have no dental insurance. It seems as though a tooth is losing it s enamel, I have black stuff in the cracks of my back teeth, right now my upper and lower teeth feel like they are itchy and numb at the same time. The tooth that came out has some left over tooth still in it, it might be forming an abscess . What can I do with no dental insurance, to help stop these issues?
