Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have not been to the dentist in a while to check my overall oral health. I brush my teeth and use mouthwash but do not floss. I am using sensitivity toothpaste and black charcoal-activated toothpaste also. I recently bought the Hismile pack to help with stain removal and this also comes with a purple serum to help activate white teeth and get rid of stains. I have noticed the bottom half of my teeth are more yellow than the upper half of my teeth. I have some discoloration on my back teeth on the top of my teeth and the bottom teeth are yellow at the roots also. I have not received any fillings or root canals, etc I may have a tooth at the back that has come through only slightly but causes no pain. I receive universal credit also but I am anxious to use the dentist. I always suffered with this as a child also but did attend appointments. What should I use next as a service option? I was hoping to do a video consultation.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Dental fears are not uncommon, many have them. I am a maxillofacial surgeon and dentist, you do not need to do a video consultation. Instead, you can chat here with me how much ever you want for 50 or 100 hours. I have seen your teeth images (attachment removed to protect the patient's identity) and there are multiple remedies you can follow up with. Toothpaste in fact contains more abrasives, so it cannot as such help you get rid of permanent stains. I can help you with every detail and information you need to be answered—nothing to be anxious about.

Thank you.
