I hate my teeth?

Question

When I was a baby I had to take antibiotics for Thrush (white coloring of the tongue.) It stained my teeth on the front two making it whiter than the rest of my teeth. I hate it so much I never smile anymore. I'm not the richest, so is there another way to get rid of it other than bleaching professionaly?

Answer 1

My mother took tetracycline (antibiotic) when she was pregnant with me (this was in the 60's ... now they know better). So my teeth were ruined with stains and bands (all the way through) before they even came in. Anyhow ... believe me - I have been through all of the cosmetic options since 1983. Don't even try to bleach your teeth as this will probably not work if the discoloration is due to anitbiotics or too much floride in your water. It won't work. People don't understand that it is ALL the way thru the tooth. Here are things you can do. There is an orthodic called "snap on smile" (it's like a grill if you are familier with the hip hop term!). If fact ... I just got one for my bottom teeth today! It's great and looks completely real! Just pops in to cover my botton 6 teeth. It was $1,500. I had my tops done with 8 veneers (which were totally expensive at $1280 each - which is why I could not do the bottoms too!). In the past, I had bonded my 6 top teeth and that worked well for about 8 years (and it is not as expensive as the veneers). So you could probably just have bonding put on the two teeth in the shade to have them match your other teeth. That would probably work best for your situation if money is a big issue. Good luck! Oh ... by the way. Ask your dentist if he offers a finance plan. I got a credit limit of $10,000 at 9% for 5 years (comes to $200/month) to pay for my veneers. This is my second set of veneers by the way - the first set was great too and lasted 15 years (until I chipped two of them myself).

Answer 2

Yes there is, get some calcium liquid capsules and melt on front teeth and they should all soon be the same color white.
bleachin will just thin teeth and u will lose em sooner in your 30's
Smile now, even if it is a smile not showing teeth.
When u get old, teeth will really get bad and then u can worry.
Stop worrying and be natural, everyone gets false teeth one day.
We are only humans and no teeth are perfect.

Answer 3

Alot of times it can also be too much fluoride or high fever as an infant. You can check into bonding on just those 2 teeth.. They put a light layer of white filling material to cover that and make it blend. I hope this helps!!!

Answer 4

If i were you, i would be glad that those front teeth are so white. As you get older all of your teeth will darken some, so just think of all the money you won't have to spend on whitening products.

i don't understand what you want. make the rest of your teeth white or unstain your two front teeth??
