Complaint / question about teeth enamel woes?
I suffer from a deformity of my enamel, as well as really weak enamel. Basically, I have discoloration (orange-brown), and rough texture. My dentist and I tried to resolve this with micro-abrasion, which smoothed out the texture but had no effect on the discoloration. We also treated my front four teeth, which were not deformed, in order to take out stains and white spots from over-fluoridation.
The side affects are killing me - over sensitivity and a spot on my gums which appears to have either died or been extremely damaged. I noticed tonight that the sensitivity is only on the biting surface of the front two teeth, and that it aligns exactly with some hair-line cracks which I never noticed before. So now I am extremely depressed. I feel as if I have ruined my teeth.
I can't help but think "why me"? All I wanted was to have slightly nicer teeth, and to put a stop to being really embarrassed about smiling or talking. I just wanted to put a stop to people asking me (very rudely, might I add!) whether I brush my teeth. (Sometimes people just out right tell me to brush them, or just cruelly make fun of me.)
Does any one have this same problem/deformity with their teeth/enamel? Did you manage to fix it? if so, how?
What are somethings I can do to help my enamel and the strength of my teeth?
I'm only 20 years old, and though my teeth look nice up close they are cracked and the cracks have progressively gotten worse. My teeth have always been cavity prone since I was a kid, but now I'm starting to take things a little more seriously. My husband and mother in law have noticed the cracks in my teeth have gotten progressively worse in the last few months. So I know I'm not just being paranoid. Is there anything I can do to help stop this and possibly turn things around?
What should you do when your enamel on your tooth is completely gone?
or before it's completely gone? obviously go to the dentist but what are the options? are my teeth going to crumble and break off where the cracks are?
plaque buildup behind teeth.?
i always get really bad plaque buildup behind my bottom teeth. its gross but i brush them 3 times a day and it never keeps it away. if i dont go to the dentist every 3 months it like cracks and breaks off and its sharp and my gums are pink underneath. i have never had a cavity in my life and i am scared i could get one there because of the plaque...any sugestions?
Tooth Decay-Tarter-Plaque?
So my friend has never been to the dentist and I'm trying to make her go. Money has always been really tight. She came to me the other day stating that she was scared that her teeth might be rotting. She said every time she brushed her teeth it bleeds (she does no brush her teeth very often..) Yet her gums are pink. She said after a while of brush it does stop. But if that place is like picked at or so it bleeds kinda bad.
But she said she had noticed on some of her teeth in the cracks inbetween slightly up close to her gums there is like black? light black. Shes worried that this might be decay? But it's weird because I thought when you're teeth decays it starts at the top of the tooth not the cracks, or can tooth decay be anywhere?
I keep telling her it's probably bad tarter build up since she doesn't really brush her teeth very often. That a good clean should do it because she has plaque in places as well. She said it doesn't hurt either.
What do you guys think?
