Any teeth biohackers here? Would love some advice.

When I was 12 I was in a sports accident. Knocked the bottom half of my two front teeth. Had them replaced with porcelain crowns, no issues for 20 years.

I then decided to get braces at 27. They removed my wisdom teeth on both sides and 4 from the middle, 2 on each side. I then had braces for 20 months and then metal retainers. Then everything went down the drain.

The orthodontist missed a hole at the back of my left lower back tooth that was forming, saying that perhaps I had acid reflux which is why I had a plaque issue. They then said some of my teeth at the front needed fillings so I got 3 fillings. They finally found the hole that was close to becoming a root canal, but luckily not yet. I had a filling and the next thing I knew, I slowly started getting pain in my jaw joint on the left side. I saw a specialist who made me a TMJ splint and things got okay for a while but then I developed Eustachian Tube Disorder on the left side too. I now have a permanent hard lymph node on my left side in front of my ear (not cancerous). I'm at a loss. I do have lumbar scoliosis on the left side but super mild. I feel like something else is wrong here and would love some advice from any dental longevity folks. I brush with fluoride free toothpaste, chew xylitol gum after meals, floss, and pull with coconut oil when I remember. I also have a red light device for my teeth. Thanks so much.
