Teeth issues? Cavities?



Recommended Posts

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?

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

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
