Can my dentist help remove a brown stain on my teeth?
Recently I noticed the my two front teeth have a brownish stain in the middle towards the bottom. It's confusing because I haven't drank soda, tea or coffee in over a year although I don't think my enamel is the strongest. I also keep my teeth in great condition (Sonicare, flossing once a day, healthy diet).
Can my dentist do anything about it? Thanks in advance.
Does anyone know of any good home remedy teeth whitening tips?

How to make/keep teeth as healthy as possible?
I want really healthy teeth. Well.. i guess everybody does, but i wanna really do something about it. I want to get the best tooth paste and I want to protect my enamel and i want to not get cavities, etc, etc. Should I get Crest pro-health? Or Colgate total? Is mouthwash good for your teeth? I heard that too much fluoride can actually be bad for your teeth. I know sodas and juices with acids in them are bad for your teeth. I floss everyday and brush twice a day. What else can i do?
p.s. if you know any tips on making them white without having to use whitening strips or paying tons of money, please let me know!
Tooth pain from grinding? HELP!?
Tuesday morning I woke up with a very slightly chipped bottom front tooth, which was sensitive to hot/cold, etc. I could tell some of my top front tooth was chipped as well. I went into the dentist that morning, had x-rays taken and the teeth looked at. At the time, my top front tooth did not hurt at all. However, the dental hygenist started pushing at it and poking at it and it THEN started hurting.
The dentist said that my xrays were fine and there wasn't any reason to bond or put a crown on my tooth because no nerves were exposed. Basically, he said that everything would be fine, but he prescribed me some fluoride toothpaste to ease the tooth sensitivity and improve my teeth's enamel since I grind my teeth.
Ever since that visit my top front tooth has hurt pretty much nonstop. It doesn't hurt bad enough to keep me from going to sleep at night and when I first wake up in the morning it doesn't hurt! But as the day progesses it begins to hurt more and more!
I've called the dentist back and they encouraged me to take Advil, or the equivalent, for pain as needed. They said if it still hurt in a week to call them back because I might need to be seen by a specialist.
Well next week is Thanksgiving and I'm going to be out of town so I'm desperately seeking some clarification as to WHAT this could be! The pain is a dull ache, on or in, my front tooth. At it's worst it feels slightly searing. It does NOT effect my gums at all. I can eat just fine, but I am avoiding that area.
Please help!
Help! Don't know what to do!?
Ok. So about a month and a half ago I went to the dentist, and apparently I had massive enamel erosion on my teeth. The receptionist lady came out to talk to me about how bad forcing yourself to throw up is, because that is what they thought I did. The problem is I have never done that before in my life--IT'S DISGUSTING. The enamel is supposedly basically all the way gone in the back, and almost always bulimia is the cause of it. Well today my mom came to talk to me about it and I tried to explain to her that I have never done that and I never would. I'm signed up to meet with a counselor at the beginning of January (involuntarily). I don't think anybody believes me and I don't know what to do :(. Does anybody have any alternatives that can cause this extreme of enamel decay, because I really need some help. Without another possibility for this there is almost no way that my parents or anybody else will believe me. I know what causes normal tooth decay, but I really need to figure out what can cause something this bad so I can find out if that is what's happening.
To clear up some things. I don't have acid reflux, and I realize some has been caused by beverages. To stop drinking pop I replaced it with a carbonated flavored water that is just as bad for my teeth, but is better for me overall. I've drank 2 of these a day for the last couple months, which I think is most of the problem, but apparently the erosion is so far gone in the back they don't think that is the cause.
Also, I'm 16, about 5'11'', and weigh slightly over 150. I don't see how they think I'm bulimic, because that's pretty average weight.
Home remedies for teeth whitening?
I am very self conscious about my teeth especially. I have a stain that comes and goes since I was a kid. I want it gone. I don't have any dental insurance so I was wondering if anyone knew any good home remedies for teeth whitening? Nothing that has to do with strawberries please. A lot of people already told me that it messes up your enamel because there's too much sugar in it. Thank you in advance!
Whereas the primary motive for teeth brushing for many is tor retain whiteness; is it true rigorous brushing?
can yellow teeth through brushing away of enamel, so it is better to underbrush than over brush, as yellow staining caused by lack of brushing can be easily removed but yellow dentin showing through after brushing away of enamel is forever?
