my teeth are disgusting from drinking sugar drinks and smoking

Q.
Hi i am 23 years old and can honestly say my teeth are disgusting from drinking extreme amounts of sugar drinks and smoking. I am so so scared of the dentist as i have been treated so bad in the past as dentist can’t believe how bad my teeth are. Over the past 2 years i tried to put things that had happened in the past behind and get some treatment. I have spent over £3000 and am now done to 7 teeth on the bottom and a broken one in bedded in m gum and 11 on my top if you can call them teeth. Most times a dentist tries to save a tooth which then a month later has not worked so i end up having it out. I am at the stage where i say to myself i want all my teeth out and have a false set as i am in so much pain and it never seems to end. Please help and let me know what my best options are as private treatment now seems to be my final option.

I have acid erosion, and my teeth have become discolored

Wednesday, September 24th, 2008
Q.
I have acid erosion, and my teeth have become quite discoloured despite the fact I have never smoked, and I don’t drink tea, coffee or red wine. I wonder whether the enamel has worn away so the appearance could be due to the dentine being revealed? The bottom third of my upper front teeth appear especially dark. I am keen to get my teeth whitened but am concerned that this may not help in my case. Can you let me know what you think? Many thanks.

Can i find an NHS dentist for acid errosion

Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008
Q.
Hi. I have a problem with the condition of my teeth and am not sure what type of treatment would be right for me. I have begun to get acid erosion on my teeth and have had to have a filling to fill 2 chips that appeared on my two front teeth. Apparently the erosion is caused by eating too much citrus fruit as i rarely drink sugary drinks etc. My two front teeth appear to be disintegrating and have gone from being lovely and straight to curved and a bit jagged. They also are a bit discoloured. This is really affecting my confidence now and i spend most of my time worrying and thinking about the state of my teeth and how they could end up. i was thinking about veneers but not sure i can afford it or if i want my original teeth to be filed down to toothpicks! I am an NHS patient – will this help with the cost of sorting my teeth out? Thanks for your advice.
