I started the BDazzled teeth whitening system today and have already notice that the sections of my teeth that have enamel hypoplasia are extremely white and stand out from the other sections of my teeth. I was wondering if anyone knows if this will settle down soon as the reason I am doing this is because I have a big event coming up in about a month.

I believe the term is Enamel Hypoplasia but I haven't found any cases online that are as severe as mine. Most that I have found are located one or two teeth don't result to much of a problem. I've been told by every dentist I've went to that I have little to no enamel on my teeth. I get cavities very easily and am sensitive to cold foods. They also have a distinct yellow color which I have had throughout my life. From what I can find the only treatment options are crowns and veneers.
One dentist attempted veneers but it did little to change the color and fell off about a year later. The other option is crowns and at six hundred dollars a pop with insurance and the fact that every tooth needs them I'm looking at quite a bill. My question is does anyone know of any other treatment options or cheaper ways to fix them.
Just called my dentist. The actual name is amelogenesis imperfecta

I have 3 cavities needing to be filled. One or two of the three in the front I think.
My dentist recommended that I get ZOOM teeth whitening done, THEN get the white fillings matched to the new shade of my teeth.
I read the consent form for Zoom and it said something about open cavities and the bleaching gel getting into will cause substantial pain.
So then why is my dentist not doing my fillings first, then the ZOOM?
Also, I have mild/moderate generalized enamel hypoplasia and she said the ZOOM would blend all my white spots in (and my teeth are a bit yellow to begin with).
I did read something about ZOOM being less effective on white spots...so am I going to end up with blotches?
What are your opinions?
BTW, I have heard having ZOOM done is like chewing on tinfoil.

Enamel Hypoplasia means the enamel on his teeth didn't form correctly. The dentist said that he shouldn't have any juice only water and milk. Well my son LOVES juice and refuses to drink water and likes milk on occasion. Does anyone know of anything out there that's not acidic or sugary?
