Teeth and Flourosis… I'm at the end of my Tether?
When I was a baby I had perfect teeth. My milk teeth were absolutely pristine. But when I was 5 and lost my first tooth, it came through with bad fluoride damage. Dark yellow, brown and white patches were all over my new adult tooth and the enamel looked very thin and opaque. This is how all my teeth came through. I lived in an area with a lot of fluoride in its water supplies etc. when I was young and it obviously affected my teeth badly...
I've known I have bad fluoride damage since I was quite young. I've had multiple fillings in order to protect my teeth as most of the enamel chipped off them as soon as they came through and several procedures where the dentist has coated my teeth in a protective sealing agent. That was several years ago now, and the sealing agent has completely gone exposing weak teeth. Since then I've also had 3 more dentists, all of whom have had different opinions on what should be done with my teeth.
Three of my front teeth grew through chipped and are now really sensitive whenever I eat and it can be quite painful (especially if I eat anything acidic or with a lot of sugar), and one back tooth came through with a rough edge that the dentist always pokes his pokey thing into and it sticks there! D:
About 2 years ago I woke up one morning and felt something in my mouth. A chip of my bottom left canine had come off for no apparent reason. And when I inspect my teeth, they are the teeth literally of a 40 year old. I have no 'grooves' left like my friends (and I haven't had grooves since I was about 10) because the enamel has worn down very quickly. Now my front teeth feel too flat at the bottom and are really really sensitive. My enamel looks weak and see-through.
My parents are aware of my problems and do their best to help me through everything. I used to be fed up (and still am) with the endless remarks from people I get about my teeth because they assume I don't brush them properly!
The most recent procedure I have had was about 6 months ago. My dentist attempted to whiten my front teeth a bit by grinding down the remaining thin amount of enamel and coating them in a whitish sealant. Let's just say it didn't quite go to plan and has caused more problems than it was worth.
I really am at the end of my tether with this!
I'm only 16 and my current dentist wants to put veneers on my teeth but I have to wait until at least my wisdom teeth have come through and settled, which could be when I am around 22!
I don't really know why I'm putting this up on here. It would be great to have some help and tips or advice about fluorosis. Maybe I'd just like to know I'm not the only one going through this.
Funny thing is, my teeth happen to be perfectly straight. Absolutely no need for braces at all! :)
Oh just to add to this, I'm in the UK too!

LifeWave’s Pain Relief Patches
Remarkable stories of people who have suffered with pain for many years and how the LifeWave Ice Wave pain relief patches eliminated or reduced their pain. Why suffer if you don't have to?
Could it be oral cancer?
I have about 3 lumps on the inside of my cheek and about two on my bottom jaw. I also have white patches on the inside of my cheeks. But I am only 16 and I don't smoke or drink or do anything hazardous to my health. So why do I have these symptoms?
The symptoms have also been there for more than a year and have never caused any pain or discomfort or anything like that.
multiple canker sores and white patches of loose skin inside of mouth?
Hello.
The other day I woke up with one side of my neck (right lymph node) hurting. Gradually it got a little painful to swallow. Later the next day I started suffering severe muscle aches (head to toe), and my lymph node had swollen and it was very painful. I noticed a canker sore on the inside of my cheek. Later that night, another one appeared on the inside of my upper lip. Througout the night, i developed a fever of 102 and 2 canker sores multiplied to 30 or more all over the inside of my lips and cheeks. I do have a nervous habit of biting my lips and cheeks to the point where they bleed, (had it for years) but never have I experienced so many sores at once. Along with the sores I have large areas of slightly raised white patches of skin. My lips are swollen, I cant eat, the muscles pains and fever went away, but pain is worse in my mouth.
anyone else experience something similar to multipe sores? Its not herpes (that occurs on outside of mouth) Could it be Lupus?
thanks
Note: I went to a dentist today because I was really concerned and I have two impacted wisdom teeth which I thought that was causing the pain and swelling in my lymph node. She was horrified by the number of canker sores I had and said the white patches could be Lupus, but it could be nothing (im hoping just consequence of me biting my lips and cheeks too much). Really, serious answers only please, hopefully someone with a medical background or knowledge or someone who has had similar or same experience.
