I suffer from a deformity of my enamel, as well as really weak enamel. Basically, I have discoloration (orange-brown), and rough texture. My dentist and I tried to resolve this with micro-abrasion, which smoothed out the texture but had no effect on the discoloration. We also treated my front four teeth, which were not deformed, in order to take out stains and white spots from over-fluoridation.
The side affects are killing me - over sensitivity and a spot on my gums which appears to have either died or been extremely damaged. I noticed tonight that the sensitivity is only on the biting surface of the front two teeth, and that it aligns exactly with some hair-line cracks which I never noticed before. So now I am extremely depressed. I feel as if I have ruined my teeth.
I can't help but think "why me"? All I wanted was to have slightly nicer teeth, and to put a stop to being really embarrassed about smiling or talking. I just wanted to put a stop to people asking me (very rudely, might I add!) whether I brush my teeth. (Sometimes people just out right tell me to brush them, or just cruelly make fun of me.)
Does any one have this same problem/deformity with their teeth/enamel? Did you manage to fix it? if so, how?
