What is on my teeth??  

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
OK, I'm not normally around here so if this has been covered please just point me in the right direction. I have no idea how to even begin searching for this.

OK so last night I noticed a rough patch on a tooth and I went to check it out. It's on the back (inside) of my bottom front teeth. In two of the spaces right next to each other, so on a total of three teeth. It is a rough patch starting at the gum line and goes about half way up the crack between the two teeth. (I have a metal wire glued behind these teeth from when I had braces and it goes up to the metal wire which is across the middle of my bottom front six teeth)

It is lighter than the color of my teeth. I totally freaked out when I looked at it with my little tooth mirror thing but dh thinks I'm being crazy and it's just a calcium deposit. Does that even happen to your teeth?? What would that look like?? I'm scared my teeth are falling apart. What would that look like??

DH and I both have terrible teeth but we've been doing WAP for a little over the past year. DD is 15 months and has a mouthfull of beautiful teeth (not sure if that matters or not but the girl seriously gets so many comments on how nice her teeth look and people are always asking what I do to care for them).
Anyhow, I'm pregnant again and still breastfeeding her so I'm worried that I'm just spreading everything too thin and my teeth are paying the price. And for the record I didn't have any dental problems during my last pregnancy and I ate like crap but I was ignorant and didn't know better.

OK, any advice?? Any more info that would be useful??

Maybe it's a "white spot"? Check out the MI Paste site http://www.gcamerica.com/mipaste.html There is a video on white spots with braces. It's on the right side, click on the picture of the teeth with braces.

OK I watched it. I'm not sure, that could be it. Mine is a rough patch and I don't recall them saying it would be rough, more like just a discoloration.

I went and looked at it again and it's sort of like it's on my teeth, not eating away at my teeth. But then again I'm no expert, I don't normally look at the back of my teeth so who knows. They're probably just rotting out of my head.:
