How do you know if you have soft enamel?
I just found out I need 4 fillings in my teeth, and I never had any cavities before, and I saw the dentist one year ago and my teeth were fine then.
Somebody in one of my other questions said something about soft enamel. How do you know if you have soft enamel? And can it suddenly just get soft? Cos I never had any cavities until now.
Just now I brush my teeth once a day, at night before I go to bed. And I floss maybe two times a week. That is the same as I've always done so I don't know why I got cavities now and didn't in the past.
I feel really bad now because I have to get fillings and my big brother and sister have never had any, and my mum is really mad with me because she found out I've been eating sweets at school and she doesn't let me eat them usually. So she's being horrible to me about it and says it's my own fault, but I'm really scared about getting fillings.
I'm 15 years old. The dentist showed me with a mirror where the cavities were, they are dark spots in the middle of some of my back teeth. So I do believe him, I just wondered why I got so many now.
