I have a problem with my teeth that doesn't have anything to do weith toothdecay, but it is more a cosmetic problem. My dentist cleaned my teeth with a scaler, and told me it was to remove some tartar/staining on my teeth. It seems to be a normal treatment, and I didn't have any objectons to it. However my teeh seems to be more than just "polished" like the contours of some of my teeth have been changed, and some teeth seem a bit smaller or thinner. My canines are shorter. I feel really annoyed about it, I liked my teeth the way they were before the treatment, and I don't feel a need to have my teeth recontoured. I also think my dentist should have informed me about what kind of treatment I had and if recontouring was necessary, give a reason for it. I just come home, brush my teeth and feel like my teeth look weird. Maybe i'm being a bit oversensitive, I don't know. But it feels like a reall problem for me.
