Tooth and Gum Problems?

Posted on August 8, 2011

Lately I've had a lot of problems with my teeth. I went to the orthodontist for the first time about six or seven months ago and she discovered that I had really bad enamel erosion. My orthodontist thought I was bulimic but I'm not, and I don't have acid reflux so I don't know whats causing that problem. Then last month I went to the dentist and one of my teeth had turned gray and I have to have a root canal. My dentist said it could be because I hit my tooth on something but I have no reccollection of doing that. And now, just yesterday, I discovered two black spots on my gums. One is right on the base of my gum and tooth, and the other is on the inside of my gums. I looked it up, and it said it could be an amalgam tattoo, but the only metal I have in my mouth are my braces, and I think I have one filling on my top teeth. So my question is, what is going on with my teeth?

How can I prevent my teeth from eroding?

Posted on July 24, 2011

I have an eating disorder. I've been purging several times a week for about six years now. Yes, I know how incredibly dangerous that is. But sorry, you won't be able to change that with a lecture, so can we please skip that? I appreciate your concern, but it won't change anything.

Anyway. I want to minimize the effects all that purging will have on my teeth (I know I can't totally prevent damage, but I want to do as little damage as possible).

For the past few years, my routine is to take a Tums tablet to neutralize the stomach acid, wait about 10 minutes, then purge. Afterwards I rinse with hydrogen peroxide and then with water. (I know not to brush my teeth immediately after purging, because I've heard doing that only makes the erosion worse).

Is this a good routine? Should I brush my teeth before I purge? Should I rinse with hydrogen peroxide before purging? Should I continue rinsing with peroxide afterwards, or is that bad?

Any tips you can give me to prevent as much erosion as possible? Thanks so much.
@Lax19: actually, if you brush your teeth after purging, it's really bad for your teeth (you're basically brushing stomach acid into the enamel).

Teeth Whitening Technology

Posted on June 13, 2011

Home teeth whitening solutions can be a real hassle to deal with. Trays can be uncomfortable, strips can slip out of place and some of them taste terrible. When Brandon gave me the Luster whitening system, I was curious. The system works by activating a whitening gel through the use of a special light that you shine on your teeth for two minutes. This process can be repeated many times inside of a single hour, with maintenance applications recommended regularly afterwords. Does it work? See for yourself. Have you used self-whitening systems in the past? If so, which one? Did it work for you? chris.pirillo.com http facebook.com

A layer of my ename/tooth chipped off?

Posted on May 31, 2011

I'm not really sure what just happened and right now I'm currently hysterical, so I'll try to sum this up.

I was sitting down and I ran my tongue over my front tooth and it felt rough on the very top. I picked at it (thinking it was something in my teeth or something) and something chipped off. It felt like an eggshell, and peeled off like peeling an eggshell. I'm guessing it was my enamel? Now there's about a 2-3 millimeter thick gap indent where it came out. It's small, but there.

I've been to the dentist recently being told that I have softened enamel due to illnesses and medicines prescribed and stuff like that. They gave me fluoride to put on my teeth but I never got around to it. I brush regularly and floss every other day. It wasn't hurting, but now it's hurting a little bit. (i'm not sure if that's just in my mind though)

What do I do? Tomorrow's Sunday so I doubt I can get an appointment anywhere. I'm also leaving for a week long school trip Wednesday and I have a full schedule Tuesday.

Please help ):
