Hi, I have an enquiry, Mostly every
morning when i wake up and look in a
mirror, i see bright white marks on my
front two teeth. They do dissapear after
3-4 hours but then again next morning they
re-appear. I always think for some reason
that its cos i sleep with my mouth open
and breathe in from my mouth. Could you
please tell me why these marks appear and
how i could prevent the white marks from
appearing every morning.
Thanks in Anticipation:)

I do not know what might be causing the
bright white marks on your front two
teeth. To get more information, you can
ask this of your dentist. When you sleep
with an open mouth, you are probably
experiencing a problem with the air
passage through the nose. This might be
caused by inflammation, polyps or septum
deviation. You can go to an ENT-specialist
for a rhinoscopy to investigate your
tendency to sleep with an open mouth.
