Hey,
After years of ignoring my teeth through dental phobia, I suddenly woke up when I realised that I was losing teeth on my upper right, I have registered with a dentist and have to wait until September to be seen...so now I am just obsessing over all of my teeth...for the first time in many years I have plucked up the courage to ACTUALLY look at my teeth...(I hate teeth and can never look close up)
Well more problems for me...my teeth always felt smooth and clean when I brushed them so thought I was doing ok...nope my bottom front teeth are covered in tartar! So I have a small toothbrush and tried to clean it off...didn't really make a difference but now my teeth feel rough at the gum line...have I now just made my teeth worse?? They did not feel rough before...?
Now I feel like I have ruined my teeth, have recceding gums and they are probably all going to fall out!
I know its probably impossible to give me a definite answer without pictures but not quite at that stage yet after only just being able to look at them, but just wondered if anyone had heard of this happening before?
Thank you in advance xxx
