Total Fear of the Dentist

I am scared to death of the dentist.
I have very sensitive teeth. I have receding gum line but the dentist says that is normal for me. I have total pain when they put that metal stick on my gum line. I survived the dentist last night and to my surprise he said I did not even need him because my teeth are always so super clean. I can't believe that. I always floss and brush well but my teeth are yellow I mean they are gross. I always ask the dentist what can I do about that and he says they are not that bad. My dad who never has anything nice to say always says that my teeth are so brown it looks like I have been eating poop. Nice dad huh? Well if anyone has any tips on how to get them whiter it would be nice. I have looked into zoom whitening but they say they won't help with the years worth of stains that I have. I have done night white wear the dentist makes you a tray and you wear it at night with bleach in it. I had bad luck with that because it did not clean well at all. I got see thru teeth and it ruined them some. I am scared to try something for fear of sensitivity too but need to do something its gross and I don't want to open my mouth. I don't drink coffee or tea or smoke so I don't know what causes it. I suppose its just years worth of stains built up. Posted on 04/20/11, 10:47 am |

I am so like you when it comes to sensitive teeth and receeding gums, even the cleaning used to hurt me. If my dentist had any fillings to redo he would first give me the injection then clean my teeth before doing the fillings which really helped me.
As for those dark stains I found that when I drank dark coloured sodas there would be a brown colour to my toothpaste when I cleaned my teeth at night. So now I don't drink sodas often but when I do I drink a clear one like 7up and I no longer have the brown toothpaste. I also find that using Listerine mouthwash seems to make my teeth really clean. There are professional teeth cleaners, maybe consult one.

Ziporah thanks for the post and the info.
I had not noticed that with the toothpaste yet I do drink sodas I quit from time to time for the sake of my teeth. I have had a headache now for days and can't get rid of it. I am now drinking sodas as that sometimes will help me to get rid of it. I seem to be addicted to it for some reason. I am not really sure how to give it up. I notice too that I wear retainers at night and this causes me to have some stains too.
