This is just more to vent, or shout out for help because i think Im becoming a hypercondract. I read online about dental erosion, and now im paranoid i got it. But, if i did, when i just got all my fillings done a few months ago, they would have told me right?

Here's the deal, you all know i used to drink lots of diet soda. Now i avoid the stuff like the plague. I never brushed too, but i guess in this case, brushing after drinking diet soda would make it worse, so, thankfully i dident do that. Anyhow, on one tooth upfront, the one over from the two front teeth, on the inside of the mouth, i got a smooth like ridge that goes along the side of the tooth and "bubbles" up towards the gum. Been like that for ages as far as i can remember, and when i looked at it with a mirror inside my mouth with a flashlight, i see other enamel build ups along the gumline for those teeth, All smooth, looking to me natural, all on the inside of the mouth.

Is this normal, or a sign of erosion? My teeth dont appear the brighter yellow of dentin, as far as i can tell, Not sensitive, but, you guys know me, any thing with teeth sets me over the edge.

Also, the other night, i felt bad, because i had like a slice of tomato in my salid, and brushed within 20 minunts of eating, so i was all paranoid. Of course i drank lots of water with the meal, but, i flipped out in my mind, oh god what did i do...etc. Last night, i had some chicken and rice in tomato sause, and wated a full hour before brushing just to avoid any possable damage.

im panicing here guys, over nothing. Its like, and ive told my shrink this too, on one hand i know my treatments done, and im taking care of myself, eating right, brushing and flossing the way i should, and i should be proud, but on the other hand i keep thinking in the back of my mind, what if i overlooked somthing, what if the dentist isnt telling me everything. What if theres somthing wrong with my teeth that they cant fix and they arent telling me. Real paranoid stuff. I dont know why, even the hygenist told me i had beautiful teeth, and the dentist told me i was going to keep my teeth for many years to come!

I think im obsessed with this. Ive talked it over with everyone who can help me. Its just, this endless constant fear in my mind that im going to loose my teeth, soon, for idk, punishment for my former ways or somthing. And even i know logic is telling me, your not, and IF u do, ur not going to die, you'll get replacements.

Help me guys. I just, idk, what my normal life back. Its driving me insane this constant paranoia.

thanks gorden.

Ya know, i think, maby, im trading one pain, for another. Like, know how if u hurt ur leg, and then u hurt ur finger, u cant feel the pain in ur leg, but now u feel the pain in ur finger?

maby im somehow doing that mentaly? Focusing on my teeth, to idk, distract me from from some other pain? ya know?
