Some thoughts: as a retired dental hygienist, I was trained to support prevention of dental diseases. I suggest you watch for signs of periodontal disease: bleeding upon brushing, red, inflamed soft tissue (gums). A fractured tooth will be extremely painful and eventually develop an abcess (infection).

Refusing radiographs (xrays) is always your perogative. Avoid abrasive toothpastes and always use soft bristle brushes. Don’t chew ice! The combo of cold and hard is a double assault on tooth structure.
