Can degenerative bone disease really affect a persons teeth?
I have been diagnosed with degenerative bone and disc disease. for years I didn't have any dental problems, even though the dentist told me that I have "soft teeth". For that reason and having braces when i was a teenager, I made it a habit of brushing my teeth several times a day. I will even wake up at night and brush my teeth.
Now, in the past 1 1/2-2 years my teeth will just crumble and eventually some of them have hurt which meant they had to be extracted. The tooth will look healthy. I had a FRONT TOOTH to crumble and fall out WHILE I WAS BRUSHING!
My dentist told me that other than the deteriorating my teeth were healthy. There were no signs of plaque or improper brushing.
I am now 37 years old and I have been diagnosed with the bone and spine disease along with arthritis in my back but does this type of disease affect a persons teeth.
Please serious answers only worth 10 points!
How can I get my teeth whiter with braces?
My teeth werent perfect in the first place, but I have noticed that they are getting less and less white. I really want pretty teeth when they come off because I used to be the kid with huge buck teeth so is there anything I can do (besides electric toothbrush and whitening toothpaste) to whiten them. The crest whitestrips say not to use them with braces so I need something else.
Brushing Gingivitis too much?
Okay, so I have had gingivitis for almost a year and a half, not so bad that they're hanging off of my teeth but they are definitely poofy. I was wondering if brushing 3-4 times a day and flossing 2 times a day was a good method for me. I just got my braces off a while back and I think this is the time to take action on my gums. Can I get some possible extra advice on this? Thank you.
