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!

Should I Be Whitening My Teeth?
I heard a lot about teeth with braces. Like i know it generally does bad things, and that you should wait to get them taken off before bleaching or whitening them. But like for a while I didn't brush my teeth[i know disgusting] and i got a plaque buildup, and now I do brush my teeth constantly. But i have like the stains from where the plaque used to be. Before I had braces I had extremely white teeth, but i was wondering if i do end up waiting for my braces to be taken off, couldn't whitening still mess it up? like i was just wondering if in my circumstances if it's okay to whiten my teeth?
Thank Youuu.
Added reminder, i do NOT continue my sick habit of not brushing my teeth. gahh ew. i brush them every single day twice.
I have grit on my teeth!?
Hi everyone,
Around ten minutes after brushing my teeth this morning (albeit not too long after eating), they felt like they were covered in grit of some sort. I don't see how it could be food/plaque accumulating, seeing as I'd just brushed my teeth. It's still there now! Is it possible I could have brushed the enamel away?
Getting very worried here...
What is the longest you can go without brushing your teeth before it becomes unsafe? (permanent damage. etc.)?
I had surgery on tuesday and my face is very swollen and i cant brush my teeth. I tired to brush my teeth yesterday but I only managed to get my bottom teeth. I was just wondering whats the longest I can go without brushing my teeth before it becomes unsafe I dont want my teeth to rot. Thanks
Why do I always have to blow my nose after brushing my teeth?
Could it be that I am allergic to toothpaste? I am always stuffed up after brushing my teeth. Does anyone else experience this?
Does brushing too much cause bad breath?
I'm somewhat OCD when it comes to brushing my teeth. I brush after almost every meal and I eat a lot of small meals throughout the day, so I end up brushing my teeth at least 4-5 times a day. I've noticed lately that my breath smells a little funny and have never had this before. I also noticed that I've been a little more OCD than usual about brushing my teeth lately..... Any connection?
Brown stains on teeth?
Hi,
I have just noticed that about 4 of my front lower teeth have brown/black stains on the back. I never noticed this until a bit of staining started appearing on the front of one of them, then I looked at the back and thought "oh my god!!". Quite a few of my other teeth have some slight brownness where the tooth meets the gum. I have not been to the dentist for about 2 years and am going to go make an appointment ASAP. But I have been brushing my teeth 2 or 3 times every day. Should I be worried? Or does it sound like just a bit of plaque/tartar buildup? (The 4 affected teeth are all next to each other.)
Thanks
