Dental Problems: More info is needed... home oral hygiene regimen? Frequency of dental checkups and cleanings? Diet? Genetic malformation of the enamel? Appears that you have multiple issues, but understand that these issues often take years to develop: your teeth don't decay and fall apart overnight. Have your dentist outline a treatment plan for your teeth and gingiva, and follow through with it.
