Jay, assuming you are the person that has the ebay listing, I just wanted to be clear about something... I was not judging you in regard to your teeth nor did I assume you were a drug addict or anything of the sort. I was simply stating that the "usual" cause of this caries pattern is due to several factors. Of those factors (unfortunately) the most common causes are previous drug abuse (usually Meth use) and a diet very high in sugar (often times due to chronic sugary drink habit, sometimes referred to as "Mountain Dew mouth").
Also, I wanted to be clear about another thing, I am a dentist and have a little bit of experience with cases very similar to yours (from what I can tell from the scans). I truly hope that everything works out for you and that you are able to get the needed work done. It will make a huge impact on your own health (as infection is infection regardless of where it is occurring, people mistakenly think dental infection is somehow different, but it isn't), and it will also have a huge impact on your quality of life.
Anyways, I hope everything works out for you.
