i have tiny teeth, i hate them
i brush my teeth vigorously but nothing helps
my mom said that you can scrape off your gums
but shes only seen it done on tv
does it really work? & how would you do it?

The procedure would need to be done by a dentist. I would recommend checking with your dentist as well to see what they suggest.

Brushing them won't make them grow. Yes, I've heard of that scraping of the gums, but it can lead to infection and the tooth needing to be removed. If down the road when you're over 18 and you still haven't proportioned out then you can always get veneers on top of your teeth that can be bigger than the teeth you have.

Brushing your teeth too hard will do nothing but cause you more problems hun...
What you need to do is look up cosmetic dentists in your area on yellowpages.com or in your phone book. Call them up set up an apointment and tell them your concerns and they will be able to help you.
Good Luck!
ps/ PLEASE do not scrape your gums off! That just reminds me of something they would put into a horror movie! That would just be soooooo bad!

When you are full grown and old enough the Dentist can put caps on them to make them bigger. My daughter is 21 and her 2 eye teeth are small as a little child and that is what they told us, but she hasn't had the money.====

u can go to the dentist and they can take a lazer to your gums, and actually take them up alittle to reveal all of your teeth..that is only if it is due to an overgrowth..if not than you may just have to live with what god gave you i just thought of something..what about veneers??
