Well i didn't really brush my teeth when i was younger and now my teeth are hurting very bad.. I didn't lose any teeth. Is it possible to lose all my teeth at this age? I am going to start brushin my teeth 4 times a day now for 2 minutes? will i still lose my teeth at a young age??
For the healthiest mouth possible, you should be having check-ups regularly every six months. Your dentist will be able to check for cavities (and fix them), discuss any pain or sensitivity with you, etc.
Brushing your teeth too much can actually hurt your gums and not be the best thing for your teeth. Brushing twice a day, and flossing, are the recommended route to healthy teeth and gums. [ alisonmarie's advice column | Ask alisonmarie A Question ]

hope i helped
edit- OMG sorry! I thought you meant that you still had your baby teeth! I misunderstood. Go to a dentist, and talk to them about it. This happened to my dad, and they all came out(most of them). The dentist MIGHT be able to do something though.
christina answered Tuesday April 17 2007, 3:30 pm: Yeah. When you don't brush your teeth, your teeth become fragile, and soft. You might bleed when you brush them, & it'll hurt you. I asked my dentist because I was wondering why some other kids lose their teeth early, and she said if they never brush their teeth, they can end up losing most if not all of their teeth at a young age, like 18-21 or so.
See your dentist & see what you can do to fix them. Start brushing, flossing, and & using mouthwash if you haven't done so already. Don't be scared if they bleed though because your teeth aren't used to it, so something like that is normal. Just see your dentist & they'll get you back on track.

theymos answered Tuesday April 17 2007, 3:26 pm: It's possible, but I doubt you'll loose them *all*(if any). Go to a dentist. They'll be able to tell you their condition, stop the pain, and fix them. [ theymos's advice column | Ask theymos A Question ]
