I just had some cleaning done (scaling),
and am having one side of my mouth done at
a time. I didn't realize it right away
but the shape of my teeth have been
changed and one is broken now. Before, my
teeth were even and now the side that was
done looks jagged. I'm so upset because I
have a huge smile and now feel like a
crocodile. Worse part is, I go in to have
the other side done on Monday.
Should I say something? Is this something
that normally happens? I had a wisdom
tooth on that same side break before going
in. Are my teeth getting brittle or
something? Help! What should I do? I'm
turning into a crocodile.
Seriously upset,
Tonia

i would definetely mention something to
your dentist. i recently had my wisdom
teeth pulled and i have a porcelain crown
on my front tooth. believe me appearance
of your teeth is a big thing. ask your
dentist if there is something you can take
like a vitamin or drink more milk. if your
teeth are getting that brittle or what not
you should definetly ask your dentist.
good luck!

It sounds to me like your dentist doesnt
know what hes doing. If I were you I
would try going to another dentist and ask
what they think. Just see if they think
that what he has done is normal! Good
luck!

Dont go in for the rest..Save your teeth
now..Thank god it was just one
side..Please dont do it. He will ruin the
rest of your teeth.
I had the same problem, thank god it was
only the upper right then I stopped him
and right now in the process of sueing him
for ruining my teeth. He made them
shorter and spaced them. I had perfect
teeth too and this is something I am
living with and regretting but thank god
it was only the upper right side.

Another thing..Dont ever change
dentist..That was a mistake I did, stick
to who you have even if youre not that
happy with him. If he has been doing a
fair job with no problems then stay.
