Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I have a discolored enamel. My doctor suggested that it could be due to fluorosis. My teeth have been brittle since childhood and would frequently chip off. Also, I had cavities for which I got root canal treatment done for four teeth. The yellowish discoloration of my teeth is bothering me. Is there a treatment option other than veneers?
Kindly suggest.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Many treatment options mask the white spots and help achieve a beautiful smile. A veneer is a permanent solution with a life of 10 to 15 years. However, the other treatment options include tooth whitening or composite fillings.
I hope this has helped you. Please feel free to reach me again, in case of further queries.
Thank you.
