What Causes Breaking Of Teeth?
My teeth are suddenly breaking. I've had 2 fillings break loose and just this evening I had tooth structure loss on a FRONT tooth at gum line almost in between 2 teeth - no previous repair to this tooth before. What in the world could be happening for my teeth to suddenly start deteriorating like they are doing??

Hello,
There is no need to take tension, as the tooth structure you are mentioning at the gum line between two teeth, it can be calculus, which is similar to tooth structure but a debris which has become hard and situated at the same area.
And the fillings which has become loose were not done properly.
There is nothing to worry just visit your dentist and get complete scaling with re-filling done.
Thank you
