poor enamel turning brown…?

I've always had poor enamel, mottled in places, and over the last year or so parts of my teeth have become increasingly discoloured, to the point where several have become brown. I went to the dentist, thinking it was rot, to be told that it is in fact merely the enamel wearing away; and that the severe toothache accompanying the erosion can be remedied with Colgate sensitive toothpaste.

Surely there must be some kind of treatment available to sort the affected teeth, other than toothpaste?! Pain in constant, and unbearable after eating/drinking anything which contains sugar (even fruit).

So I'm wondering what treatment is available to stop the toothache and also to return my teeth to a being decent-looking. (Hard to get a job with brown teeth!)

I know that the NHS does offer veneers under certain circumstances....would this apply in my case?

Thanks!
