Q.
Hi, i was at my dentist for a concernt on my acid erosion, and she says it has gotten worse, my teeth are now a dark yellow/grey colour . I am 18 years old. But apparently places around my braces had remineralised while other places on my teeth did not so i have a white, dark yellow and grey splotches on my teeth, making them appaear rotten, if they are not already. they are sensitive and she has referred me to the royal school of dentistry belfast. But she says it will take atleast 6 months, she says to my mum that my case is quite perculiar. now i have eliminated all fizzy drinks, sugary foods. From my diet. if you need to see a picture of my teeth to see how sever the condition is then i can send a picture. I asked my dentisr could she just give me veneers or crowns. she said its not appropriate to take away sound tooth. i said well it may be sound tooth but it looks beyond repair, and she says that she could try whitening my “enamel” which in my opinion is only dentin and slight enamel around the edges. and i think the whitening would only highlight the edge of my teeth and still make it look worse. So i am not sure if i should change dentist or not. i would really appreciate you atleast looking at the severity of my condition thanks.,
