Acid Erosion & Braces?
My sister has moderate acid erosion on her teeth from years of suffering from acid reflux and chugging sodas. Her teeth are quite crowded and crooked, and she wants to get braces before she goes to University.
Will her acid eroded teeth be a problem with braces?
And she isn't a good candidate for Invisalign.
How to get rid of bad breath?
I. Recommend any products? Tooth brushes, mouthwashes, etc.
II. I'm pretty sure that I have acid reflux. So no gum, or mints because the chewing sends a message to the stomach to add more acid.
III. Does chewing parsley or any "voodoo" like that help?
Now about me. I brush, floss, and use Listerine everyday and night. In addition, what is the difference between tooth paste with fluoride and without fluoride.
ONLY answer if you know what you're talking about. No, check with your dentist or stupid things like that.
Why can't I get rid of chalky teeth?
I had a rough start to dental hygiene. My parents weren't exactly advocates, and our insurance didn't cover any local dentists. To top this off, I was three months premature, had acid reflux, and was on a lot of medication. My teeth are small, and never gave me problems in the lines of pain. Finally at the age of 18, I found a dentist two hours away that would cover me. I had all four wisdom teeth pulled a month ago, and two fillings today. They've given me high fluoride toothpaste that I have to use each night without rinsing (two of my teeth have see-through parts on their bottom). I've begun flossing and brushing after every meal, yet it seems like my teeth are getting more white, chalky spots in the corners where I floss. Why? I'm trying to fix my ways, and have been brushing in this fashion for two months...
What can I do about enamel loss?
I am 26 years old and I am having a huge problem with enamel loss on my teeth. My Dentist gave me fluoride gel, but is there anyting else? Is there some radical new procedure out there to repair my teeth? Just to give you a quick history, I have had a couple of cavities in my life, then out of nowhere a few years back, i had 2 to 3 cavities on each tooth. My Dentist and Doctor speculate it was due to severe acid reflux that went untreated. Basically all night long my stomach acids were eating my teeth away. I will do anything to save them now! Is it too late? Am I going to be 30 years old with dentures?
Lemonade and tooth enamel erosion?
I have a significant amount of tooth enamel erosion on most of my teeth. I have never had an eating disorder and recently a doctor ruled out the possibility of acid reflux being a cause. When I was around high school age I became obsessed with lemonade. I really drank alot of it. I know that it has been mentioned that sucking on lemons could cause erosion, but what about lemonade?
