Black Teeth Since 2nd Grade Till Now... T_t Posted: 01-14-05 01:39am
Hello,
new on this forum and ive had a strange
problem since 2nd grade... (im currently
a freshman so im pretty young)
well...
Ever since 2nd grade this black thing
started forming on my teeth.. I tried
scraping it off with a toothpick which
results in some coming off but I cant get
rid of it.
Every time I visit the dentist the have to
"scale" it and it gets rid of it
totally... Only for a while though.
It takes only a couple of weeks for it to
come back.
Mainly it forms behind the teeth but
starts forming on the front.
Picture:
teeth * is black stuff

not that great but best I could do since
my scanner does not work on my new
computer.
Even though I visit my dentist he cannot
give me a clear explanation on what is
fomring on my teeth. He is certified and
has a dental degree.
So... Im not sure what to do..
The closest I have gotten to a answer
online is blood seeping through teeth and
staining it.
Others advertise getting whiter teeth but
no specific answer.
Although I heard my sister saying me
having acidic saliva... Such thing as
this??
Please help.. This creates a bit of a
social problem when talking to people..

Sounds like it must be related to your
diet.Iron can cause staining,as well as
berries and tea and other caffienated
drinks. The fact that it can be removed
by a dental cleaning is a good thing.It
could be related to the ph of your
saliva.Maybe you could have a
mini-cleaning to remove the stain on a
more frequent basis.Most dentists will
charge less than the cost of a complete
cleaning,if you ask them.Good luck!

Other Things to Try. Posted: 01-15-05 13:46pm
I am not sure of the problem, but these
things or a combo may help.
1. Floss you teeth to scrape them.
2. Rinse and gargle with 1/2 hydrogen
peroxide and 1/2 h2o. This can help to
kill some germs, especially on the tongue
and gums plus help whiten your teeth. My
dentist told me only to do this
occasionally not at every brushing.
Hydrogen peroxide is cheap.
3. Use listerine. Again this helps
kill germs plus helps your breath.
4. Buy a dental utensile to scrape this
black stuff off your teeth.
I hope this is helpful.

I have heard that using hydro peroxide
cleans but then in the long runs ruins
your teeth severly.
Same as in lemon and other highly acidic
things.
Tahnks for your answers very much
appreciated.
My parents are planning to take me to
different dentists to see what the problem
is.
It may possibly my ph level of saliva
causing this. Not so sure though.

Asdflol,
I totally understand what you are talking
about. I have the same problem for 12
years and no dentist have been able to
really tell me why my teeth stain black
(specially my molars). I don't smoke,
drink coffee or tea. For me it all started
after dating a guy with the same problem
for several years. He had it and I ended
up having it. Now I have a one year old
child who has it too. From all the
research that I have done I am convince
that it is our saliva composition, but no
final diagnose. A few dentists have shared
with me that they have seen this before in
both adults and children, but no one knows
for sure the real cause.
May be one day someone will do their Ph.D
on this matter and will be able to help
us.
Good luck

have they tried to identify what this
stuff is? perhaps you should request that
a sample should be sent to the lab.
