Hi Guys,
Excellent website- and has really helped me pluck up the courage to visit the dentist.....after 8 years!
I know my teeth arent too bad- chipped and worn- will definitely need a few fillings, which I am fine with (my own fault for not attending for so long)....
However- I am a smoker (not too heavy) and recently noticed my front 4 teeth have brown/black marks at the gumline-and am petrified they are beyond repair and will fall out/have to be pulled!
Most webistes seem to point at it being heavy tartar/calculus, but I am not so sure- my appointment is on the 31st of Jan and I have a hygenist appointment booked in the day after- however I cannot sleep with worrying about these four teeth. it is only right at the gum line and on some teeth looks greeny/brown, but the main one looks closer to dark grey/black. It feels slightly raised off the tooth and bumpy- no pain when touched.
I have attached a photo to show what I mean apologies if it looks awful!
