Why are my teeth so bad?

What can cause teeth to become so bad? I'm only 25 and my teeth are horrible and I mean horrible. They're all cracked and some of them have fallen out. I can't explain how bad they are, but they're very bad. I have cavities on every single tooth. I have already had about 20 root canals, 4 teeth pulled, and one of my teeth (unfortunately my front) just fall out. All of my teeth are rotten and I just don't understand why. I'm only 25 this shouldn't be happening. I brushed my teeth 2 times a day and went to the dentist every six months, so this is very confusing. My insurance doesn't cover dental work and I can't afford to have anything fixed. I have excruciating tooth aches. My teeth are so bad that I can't even smile or open my mouth because it's embarrassing.
What could have caused this since I always took care of my teeth and saw a dentist regularly for cleanings when I was younger.

Thanks in advance for your help.

I would have to know more about your eating habits and other things that you may be involved with. I would suggest you look for a hospital that has a dental residency program or a dental school.
