I’m suffering from a peculier case of acid erosion, can you please help?

Monday, July 5th, 2010
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.,

What are the symptons of acid erosion?

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009
Q.
My two front teeth appeared to be thinning and therefore appearing darker for the last few months, however recently I managed to look behind my front teeth using a mirror and saw that there is a black mark on each one. Is this acid erosion and how do I get rid of this problem?

Will fizzy drinks erode enamel and effect the Whitening process?

Tuesday, August 25th, 2009
Q.
I have been given a kit called ‘day white excel 3’ from my dentist in Australia. I used the kit last week for 9 days straight and was meant to leave it on for half an hour, but sometimes left it for over an hour. I had very sensitive teeth afterwards and felt that diet coke or anything acidic afterwards was attacking my teeth. It looks like some enamel may have been eroded the root s of some of my teeth, is this possible or could the whitening highlight a problem that may already be there? In addition do fizzy drinks and sparkling water erode the enamel on teeth over time? Thanks in advance.
