Thanks- I can't get a dentist appt. until June.
Is there anything I can do to prevent further problems, aside from brushing/flossing and not grinding my teeth ?
Would a mineral like strontium for strong bones help to re-mineralize? I take magnesium and I eat calcium-rich foods. The lower halves of all of my teeth are yellow-colored (some of the roots are brown) and the top halves are white. Is this also a sign of de-mineralization?
I read that sometimes a shiny brown color could signify caries arrest, but even if the demineralization stops, wouldn't they still need to be repaired?
Yes certain foods could stain and yes to mineral deficiencies. Please have it evaluated by your dentist, because caries on root structure can progress much faster than on enamel.
I don't smoke, drink black tea, coffee or juices so I don't believe it's staining. This is why I am concerned about decay, and the roots. I'm 38, and I have had TMD with bad teeth grinding in the past. Could it also be related to food allergies or digestion? (Like gluten sensitivities or mineral deficiencies?) Thanks!
Are you a smoker? Do you consume a lot of tea/coffee? It could be just a staining, have it checked by your dentist first.
