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.

Dear daughter,

i don't know that your problem is dental, it sounds as though it is more obsessive compulsive disorder. The fact that you have no control over pulling at your teeth and no matter what you have tried you just can't stop. There are other health forums that deal more in mental health issues.

Regards,
