Acid erosion, very thin teeth…?

Posted on July 29, 2011

I'm addicted to diet coke and have been for many years (don't comment and tell me to quit, I'm trying very hard but it's not something that I can do easily.) It's given me bad acid erosion on my front teeth, top and bottom, so I've recently started drinking through a straw. The acid erosion has given me a slight gap at the bottom of my top front teeth and it seems to getting higher and I'm TERRIFIED of it getting any bigger.

So long story short, will flossing in between my two top front teeth make the gap worse?

i have tooth erosion, what can i do about it?

its in between my 2 front teeth, basically its caused a a wider gap. i think its caused by acids, im just wondering what i can do to fix this problem

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 ):

What do you think when you see a girl with a gap in her front teeth?

Posted on May 30, 2011

I have a gap in my front teeth, about 3mm or something. So i was wondering if when you see somone with a gap do you feel repulsed, or think nothing of it?
Im afraid to smile with my teeth because my gap makes me self concious, i hate it.
i bugged my parents enough about it for them to finally consider braces for me, but the ortho. said i have this muscle in my gums that will just push my teeth apart after my braces are off, and i need it surgicallly removed. yeah, my mom said NO to that. trust me, if it wasnt for that id have braces on with the promise of no more gap ><

Is it true that guys won't date a girl with a gap in her front teeth?

I was born with a gap between my front teeth. I take perfectly good care of my teeth and they are in great shape. This one guy I have liked for a long time was being very friendly to me in class, we've been partners for several in-class assignments. I thought I had a chance with him, so I asked him if he wanted to hang out. We did, a few times, and he said he really enjoyed my company & wanted to spend more time with me. Finally I decided to ask him out. He wasn't shocked that I asked and said he considered it. BUT he said I can't go out with me until I get the gap in my front teeth fixed because he said it was distracting. I said I was born with it and he said he knows, but if he goes out with me his friends and everyone will laugh (apparently they already do), so this is what we have to do. He said not to be mad at him, he doesn't make the rules and he said no guy would go out with a girl with a gap tooth, he said none of his friends or his brother or anyone else he knows would. He said that's why I've never had a single guy ask me out.

Well I'm really hurt and don't know what to do. should I get it fixed? How much does it cost and what options are there? The dentists never said anything about it. Is he right, about no guys dating girls with gap teeth? I never even realized it or thought it was a problem until this happened. :-(

So I have this dilemma… modeling or perfect teeth? (read info)?

Posted on May 27, 2011

Well, I am beginning to be a model and it's all I've ever dreamed of and I am very happy. The problem is, I have gap teeth, nothing grotesque but according to recent model photographs and articles, they work in the modeling industry. I also believe they give you another touch. I also have never had a great smile and I think it's because of my teeth and I have been given the option to get that fixed but I'm afraid that I won't have SUCH an interesting touch. I am completely jealous of all the girls at my school with perfect smiles and it's gotten to the point where I cover my face when I laugh. (I have thin-medium lips) What do you think I should do?

What are your opinions on teeth with gaps?

You see a really good looking guy/girl and when they smile you see they have a gap, whats your thoughts?

Baring in mind, all my teeth are perfectly straight but i've never had any dental work in my life, my teeth arent rotton either :/
