Any reason why are my teeth in bad condition?

Several : Problematic teeth can be related to a number of different causes. Poor oral hygiene, diet, malpositioned teeth, tobacco, illicit drugs, other drugs and habits that cause dryness of the mouth, missing teeth, trauma, genetics and developmental defects are some possible causes. A thorough dental examination by a dentist with the appropriate x-rays can help you identify the source of your problems.
