Yes, I have observed for myself that it sure seems like a lot of men which certainly must have an excess of testosterone usually along with some mixture of alcohol seem to get punched in the face more often than other people thus leading to sudden traumatic tooth dislocation coupled with a subsequent drastic decay of enamel and gums to the surrounding affected area.

What have you done for broken teeth? I am scheduled for a broken tooth extraction with bridge to follow in a few weeks.

Tooth is basically a calcium and mostly soft drinks and sweets are the main cause of it cause it , and if you want to stop more cavities try brushing your teeth after every meal. But except dental surgery there is no solution to it.

And do not strip speaker wire with your teeth. But I did have that split tooth for 10 years until it finally got infected. -Down by one tooth. But no cavities. And I hardly ever brush, preferring to use toothpicks and twigs instead.
