Causes for bad/breaking teeth?

Okay so since I was little, I have always had bad teeth. I went to the dentist every six months, brushed, flossed got fluoride but I always had cavities. Since I have become an adult, I have had major problems particularly that my teeth keep breaking. And it isn't like I am gnawing on a bone or something; they have broken on things like a hamburger or chicken breast. This week I had the cap break in half on one of my teeth that had broken years earlier on cereal (CEREAL!!!). Now I have to have a new cap on it and a root canal. I have had many other root canals, an apicoectomy, two abscessed teeth where I had to have a second root canals...the list goes on and on! I read on one post here that there may be some kind of disease that causes weak teeth...anyone knows the name of this disease or any other suggestions as to my dental woes? As dental insurance SUCKS, it seems like I may have to take out a second loan on my house to pay for this so any info would help.

The problems your having can be due to anyone of a number of issues or a combination of some. First, if your a Diabetic that could explain the problems your dealing with. Second, it could also be an issue of medication your mom took while carrying you. If she took any of the "Myicins" during that time frame it could explain your tooth issues. Some children after birth developed teeth without enamel due to Mom taking a Myicin type medication. Also, if you are chronically depleted of the proper amount of calcium in your body, that can be an issue. First, you need to see an MD and get a complete blood scan. You specifically want to check on blood sugar and calcium issues. Please do this ASAP....
