Hello
I am 24 years old and I have a problem with my teeth. My permanent teeth erupted sometime between the ages of 8 and 11; at 13 I got two fillings, in the upper right first molar and the lower left first molar. About a year ago, however, I began having problems with the upper first and second premolars. In less than a year both first premolars and both second premolars in the upper jaw completely broke down; of course the teeth can no longer be saved and have to be extracted.
The other teeth are fine. I would like to know what could be the reason that all of these upper premolars suddenly broke down like this.
I have not found a similar problem described anywhere.
Thank you for your answer
Have a nice day

Dear Sir/Madam!
The situation you describe is most often caused by carious changes in the affected teeth that were not treated in time. Most commonly this is decay on the contact surfaces, which is more difficult to detect, so the tooth ultimately decays completely and collapses in on itself. In rare cases the cause is a congenital disorder in the composition of the hard dental tissues. In such forms of disease, carious processes also spread much faster and reach the kind of problem you describe much sooner. For a more precise answer, you would need to come to our practice.
