Q. My teeth had always been healthy, up until I got braces when I was 14. They ruined my teeth.. since then its been downhill..I have 4 teeth that are so decayed and broken and I am so embarrassed b/c I am so young. I was also bulemic when I was younger as well. I just had a baby too, and I found that pregnancy drained my teeth! I need to know what I should do. 3 teeth are broken to the gumline. I have an appt july 13th and I want to be prepared to ask the right questions and have the right care!
A. You need a full assessment and you need to find a dentist you feel comfortable with. First step is to assess the teeth and gums and decide which teeth can be saved, get your gums healthy, improve your own cleaning of your teeth so you can look after them better. Once this stage is done options can be given to improve your smile and fill gaps.
