Holes in your teeth?
i had 2 of these.. went to the dentist and he filled them.. took about 5 minutes.. no biggie :)
Reply:You can't tell what it is..only your dentist can. it may just be a cavity on the side of the tooth and it can be filled...the very worst thing it could be is an infected tooth that may need to come out. That's not going to happen, but if it did...they have easy ways of replacing that tooth with a porcelain one that will look just like the rest of your teeth. Call the dentist...and try not to worry. One thing you don't want to do is


have an infection in your mouth and do nothing about it. That CAN be really serious. The infection can get into your blood stream and cause MAJOR problems... just go see your dentist and you'll be fine! ♥ We worry about teeth things cause they are scary..dentists are not scary ...they make the hurts go away...♥
Reply:I actually think this is the wearing away of the enamel. I think it is yellow because it doesn't have the protection over it and coffee/tea and other things stain teeth especially without the enamel over it. This is happening to my friend right now and she doesn't have any dental insurance so she hasn't been able to get them fixed. I personally don't think they are cavities, and they will probably be able to fill them in. Just go as soon as you can. Don't lose your smile.....she has lost hers because she is too embarassed to smile. It is sad, but she is saving to have something done. Good luck.
Reply:Sounds like you may be brushing your teeth too rough. I have the same problem. I have receding gum lines and worn down teeth because of it too. My dentist was able to put some filler into the holes but that's only temporary...it will eventually wear out again. The fix is to actually pay attention when you're brushing and don't push down on your brush so hard. My dentist recommended I get an electric toothbrush...i.e. Sonicare because you just need to rest the brush on your teeth and you let the vibrating brush do all the work.
