Teeth issues? Cavities?

[funmama707 2]

I went in today for my cleaning and annual X-rays and I have 4 cavities and need a root canal/crown! Granted last xrays were over a year ago, but the dentist was shocked. I mentioned acid and taking Prilosec plus diet changes. Anyone else?

I also went in today. Have had 1 cavity over the last 44 years and today had 5!!!! Just too wierd!!! Don't know why but will just take care of them and see what happens in 6 months!!!

Same thing happened to me last week. 4 cavities and in need of a crown. My dentist was shocked as well. After taking about all the changes I am going thru she said she it was from drinking crystal light. Who knew that after you drink crystal light you are supposed to drink Water to get it off of your teeth! Not me! But now I make sure I always have a plain bottle of water around ????

Right! The CL! I drink it all day! Ugh! So I will just be bald and cavity-filled. At least the hair is starting to come back! I have to just drink Water. I got the special toothpaste and will just use more straws.

Well you will not be alone! I was given the toothpaste also. I still drink my crystal light but do the rinse lol. After learning about this I now drink more Water than the sugar free drinks I am allowed too. Now I just have to battle the Hair loss and I'm good to go lol
