In the back, I THINK the one before my wisdom tooth if I'm feeling right. And it's pretty sharp, so I'm stuck with it until Monday.
I hate my teeth, they are awful.  And I'm SO NUTS about taking care of them so I don't know why they are so bad.

 You win! At least mine is in the back lol.
I just hope it doesn't need to be pulled for something that may be going on back there that I don't know about.
This feels weeeeird. It's just like the front part that chipped, so it's all ghauifha feeling. |

My teeth have really weak enamel AND I have acid reflux, so I have no chance.
They chip so easily.
Maybe that's your situation too, weak enamel? My mom has it too, so I think it might be a little bit genetic. |

I think I have acid reflux, so that could be part of the problem. My mom has bad teeth, her side of the family does. I've already had two root canals and I
need like two more.
Okay so one that I need to have done was completely caused by my wisdom tooth coming in sideways and decaying the tooth in front of it. So that was not something I was able to control. But the other three? I DON'T GET IT. I brush, floss, and use mouth wash. I'm really anal about my mouth being super clean lol, so I just don't understand it.

I am too, and I have a terrible fear of losing my teeth. That's the only recurring dream I've ever had (my teeth falling out).
My dentist once asked me if I had acid reflux, and he said he could tell b/c my enamel was so worn for someone my age. He said teeth only look that way if the person has acid reflux or is bulimic. My mom immediately asked me if I was bulimic.

If your teeth chip easily or you have lots of root issues, ask your dentist if they could be caused by clenching or grinding your teeth at night. That does an
incredible amount of damage and it's something you don't even know you do. A mouth guard might be what you need.
