Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have been having oral problems for over 10 years now. I have faded gums, and my lower premolars, incisors and canines are yellow. I have two severely curved molars on my lower jaws which have lasted for 10 years. I resorted to removing but I was advised not to since it could affect rest of the teeth and I would eventually find myself toothless. Minding my food consumption, they have not been itchy. Just for the past few weeks, one of the curved teeth started hurting me severely that I visited my doctor. I have convinced myself that it is the right time to eliminate them. Please advice on this as well as to how to permanently regain my white teeth. They are not very yellow but partially.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Do not worry too much about the color of the teeth. The color varies in each individual from bright white to pale yellow. There are many shades of teeth that can occur due to varied reasons. As long as the teeth and gums are healthy, there is nothing much to worry about the color. Regarding pain in one of the molar teeth, visit your dentist and get the suggested treatment done. (My advice is not to get the tooth removed). You can get a few sessions of teeth bleaching done to improve the teeth color to a few shades whiter. (This should be done under the supervision of a dentist).

Take care.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
