This might be a long shot but I haven’t been to the dentist in about 5-6 years due to financial reasons. I’m very consistent with my oral hygiene. I never bleed when I floss and I haven’t experienced any sensitivity. My crown is painful every now and then and I do have to take the end of a floss pick to scrape food out my gums where my crown is (on the side near my tongue), I’ve had it for 10+ years. I’ve been grinding and clenching a lot recently and my jaw is in immense pain. Sometimes I wake up and my teeth feel gritty, I feel like I’m tearing my teeth up. I circled in the last photo a hole that I noticed in my tooth, it doesn’t hurt though.
