Tooth Enamel

[fujiwabbit]

In the last year i've lost quite a bit of tooth enamel and its really starting ot show (and bother me). i kno its from malnutrition but is there any way to reverse this? obviously besides getting it treated at the dentist with whitening etc. etc. ??

Some of the sensitive toothpastes can help fill in the microscopic holes in the enamel. For a while the dentist told me to press the paste onto my teeth and leave it overnight.

Some of my teeth came in with whole in them and no enamel. I had a sealant put on them so I wouldn't get cavities. I know this isn't your exact situation, but they may be able to seal your teeth so they don't get any worse.

MY TEETH ARE EXSTREAMLY SENSITIVE I CANNOT EAT OR DRINK ANYTHING WITHOUT PAIN. I'VE BEEN USEING SENSINDINE TOOTHPASTE FOR YEARS, AFRAID TO QUIT IT MAY GET WORSE. I'VE BEEN gluten-free FOR 8 MONTHS HOPE WE BOTH GET RELEAF AS TIME PASSES.

Sensodyne has gluten - according to the company themselves. You may want to try Crest's Sensitive Tooth Toothpaste, it is gluten-free.

I made the mistake of using sensodyne for a while too. Crest is great. I think the aquafresh sensitve is ok too. My teeth were also sealed as a teen. I didn't know about celiac then, just that I had bad teeth. My son has teeth with big "holes" in them where the enamel never formed. For now they are putting temporary fillings on them since it is such a fight to get him in the chair. He's 3 and so far I've found 5 major defects on his teeth. No telling how many smaller ones there are.

i didn't form enamel right on my teeth either - had to get sealants, too.

i've also had yellowish tint to them my whole life. i heard it was vitamin deficiency.

guess that makes sense now.
