Hello everone
i'm new here, I have posted on every dental message board that I can find, I have looked for dental chat rooms but haven't been able to find any. A while ago, I whitened my teeth with whitening trays, I don't know why but, it made my front teeth feel as if they were moving (and I don't mean when they have braces on them) so, I would push on them to see if something was wrong. Now, I can't get myself to stop!!!!
Last time I went to the dentist they took an x-ray, I was told that the bone & root are both fine but, if I continued that I could damage the root. As I said earlier in this post, I have tried everything I can think of to try to get myself to stop, including wearing my (top) retainer and keeping my hands busy, I am so scared of losing teeth (even one)! I have also tried just keeping my hands away from my teeth but that hasn't seemed to work either! I had braces when I was younger and I don't want to ruin the work we did not to mention, the root of my tooth so, if any of you knows anyway I can stop for good please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tell me.
