I was told by my dentist today that I will need a night guard because my enamel seems worn (See below)?

Posted on October 9, 2010

Essentially my dentist told me that I will need a nightguard becuase my teeth enamel are kind of worn. He thinks I have been gridning my teeth in the night. He said he can make a custom one for me but I will need two visits. I imigine this will be kind of expensive because it's custom fit to my mouth. I see the night gurads they sell at wallgreens only .00. Are there any real difference between the two. I heard the one's you get at the drug store you have to boil and they fall out at night...

I want to get my teeth whitened when im older…?

Posted on October 7, 2010

Well I am 13 years young right now and i was wondering:
1. How old do you have to be to get your teeth whitened at the dentist?
2. How much would it cost in £'s?
3. How would I keep my teeth healthy after they are whitened as they can make your teeth unhealthy and take away enamel?
4. What can go wrong with whitening your teeth at the dentist?
5. Is getting your teeth veneered the same thing?
6. How do they whiten teeth? Does it involve injections?
7. If it does involve injections... can i get gassed to fall asleep then they inject my mouth?? Because on Katie and Peter Stateside se was getting her tooth Veneer thingy and she wanted an injection to fall asleep but i have a big problem with injections in my skin.

So those are my 6/7 question for the moment...

I have significant enamel loss due to acidic saliva.(5.5 or lower) The Acid is not coming from my stomach, proven by esophageal ph probe testing.

I am/have had several teeth crowned to prevent further loss and for appearance sake.

It happens while I sleep.

Can brushing after meals be bad for the enamel

Posted on October 4, 2010

I heard right after eating a meal, it softens the enamel of the teeth, so I think brushing after eating would not be a good idea since it damages the enamel. If this is true, why does this happen? I think this what caused my cavity to form.
