i used to have excellent teeth. the only thing which was excellent despite this shit of a disease.
even 2 years ago a dentist coming into nursing home doing visual inspection meant its really good quality teeth. no need to do anything.
despite not going to dentist for over 10 years.
i brush teeth once in evening before bed. and always a bit prolonged for like 10-15 minutes because i read or watch movie besides and forgot times. probably thats why they were in good shape.
but now they are getting not good anymore. they get thinner, are coloring into a yellow like a smoker but i never smoked. also didnt change anything on diet.
what really disturbs me is that some teeth on their pointy end have a transparent pike with black coloring inside. also texture of teeth is pretty smooth.
i suspect two things,
1. i started to use electric brush 2 years ago. maybe i was brushing the enamel off.
i ordered a ultra sonic emmi dent tooth brush now, btw, anybody experience / knowledge with ultrasonic brushes?
2. 9 month ago i started high dose vitamin D (~5000 iu per day). could it be that i have paradox symptom where vitamin D if it cannot access calcium from food is mobilizing internal stores?
i didnt have this problem a year ago. its new and would timely rather fit to vitamin D.
despite transparency and thining / flattening the teeth look okish i guess. no plaques, no white spots.
