Im 15 and Ive hardly no enamel left what can i do to help my teeth?
Q. I am 15 years old and i had mono for up to a year; i got really sick and i puked everyday for 2 years in a row, my dentist told me i have hardly no enamel left is there anything i can do to help my teeth? so far i’ve had 2 teeth pulled and i’m about to get another pulled. i want to know if lumineers are right for me; i would really like to fix my teeth; no matter what i do my teeth stay yellow; what should i do?
A. Thanks for your email. We need to protect these teeth and build them up. Has the vomiting stopped? This must be your first treatment. Then I suggest a fluoride mouthwash.
Depending on how much enamel has been lost they can be covered with composite resin bonding (tooth filling material) or crowns this would also improve the colour. I suggest you find a cosmetic paedodontist (children and teens dentist). You are unlikely to be a suitable candidate for lumineers. Good luck!
