debating if my name is one

my parents gave me a double first name, named after both of their grandmothers. i think a good example would be Agnesann. they aren’t names that create a typical double name like rose marie or mary ellen. they did not put a space or hyphenate it. and the biggest issue imo they left the start of the second name lowercase so it is “all one word”. my entire life everyone will think Ann is my middle name and i choose to go by both. if they know it’s a double first name they spell it Agnes Ann, Agnes-Ann or AgnesAnn. but of course it’s “Agnesann”. as i’ve gotten older i can understand the concept of “all one word” but i feel like the second A should have been capitalized. i feel like the lowercase for the second name is at least a tragedy, not tragedeigh. most often when i say it’s one word get AgnesAnn. and i really don’t understand why they put it lowercase, it gets capitalized on important documents even if i specify it’s lowercase. i feel like even when it’s typed out properly it looks like someone typed it out and was too lazy to capitalize the second name. so people just capitalize it. i’ve been debating just starting to capitalize the second name so it at least looks correct

EDIT: Agnes and Ann are not the two names. it’s an example of two names that don’t naturally go into a compound name. i have two names that don’t go together and the second name is lowercase because it’s Alloneword

How bad is my enamel?

was going to a pretty sketchy dentist for a bit. they said i have barely any enamel on my teeth, something you’d expect to see in an old person. my teeth are super sensitive and transparent in spots so i believe them, but is it as bad as they say? if so what should i do? i do plan on going to a new dentist but i want to know if i should bring up these issues up front or see if they say the same thing. also the last picture they said i have super tight tongue tie and should consider a frenectomy. never heard that anywhere else. should i?

edit: age early 20s, nothing in my medical or dental history that would explain this
