How to restore the enamel of my teeth?

Posted on July 19, 2010

Last weekend I consumed alcohol and ended up vomiting numerous times throughout the night/morning/next day [I know this is gross, but sometimes I didn't rinse it out so well...gross, but I was hungover and could care less]. Also, one night earlier through the week, I don't remember when, but I felt nauseous and vomited again. Then, while I was asleep the night before last, I woke up at 5 am and [you guessed it] got sick again! No, I'm not pregnant. I know why I did last night; I made poor diet decisions and went to sleep on a stomach full of crap crap junk. Anyway, as a result of all that vomiting, my teeth have felt very "not smooth." They feel like they're going to hurt if I let them rub together. It's affecting me! The way I talk, and also it's weird, but if I envision myself letting my teeth touch [all dry and gritty like this] I just absolutely cringe. I've been using Colgate enamel strengthening toothpaste for two days, but it's not helping.

This has got to stop! I have beautiful teeth and I am afraid I've done some sort of permanent damage. I vomit fairly frequently on the weekends due to my alcohol habits. BUT I am going fix this!! I can't stand the way my teeth feel. I'm going to work on my eating habits [to avoid nausea] and also my alcohol consumption. But in the meantime, can someone PLEASE tell me how to restore that "slickery, shiny feeling" to my teeth? I'm going to buy fluoride tomorrow.

What can be a possible reason for & solution to bad breath if it persists inspite of regular brushing.?

Posted on July 8, 2010

one of my family members had a tooth problem few years back. However now he is very particular about regular brushing after meals, using mouthwashes etc. I dont find anything wrong with his eating habits as well but he does have stomach problems at times. Inspite of his discipline, his breath starts smelling after sometime of brushing. Please suggest what is the reason for it & what can be done to solve this problem.
