I have accidentally removed a lot of tooth enamel, is there anything I can do?

Q.
I have been using high strength ascorbic acid for two weeks. The bottle says brush teeth after use. I have and now I have removed lots of enamel off my teeth. I am in so much pain. How long will this pain last and how long does it take to remineralise the teeth. My dentist is unsure of the degree of loss and has painted temporary varnish to heal my teeth. How long does it take the teeth to remineralise or will I suffer forever. My teeth are very see through.

Help Iam getting married in three weeks and before this had lovely teeth. I am so upset.

Thank you for your time 

A.
If you have worn through the whole enamel, then there is no chance of any remineralisation, but I don’t think a couple of weeks would cause such severe damage. In any case, once you have worn through enamel, it does not ‘grow’ back. Please go back to your dentist if the pain persists.
