Know anything about teeth?

It can be just discoloration or something else.. I forget what its called.. something like, calcium deposits (but that's not it.. I don't believe). I used to have a yellow "stain" on one of my front teeth that wouldn't go away, no matter what I did.

You can try some whitening toothpaste.

It doesn't seem to "scrape off". And on the back of the front teeth, it almost feels like there is something in between my teeth, which is annoying. It was there the last time I went to the dentist and they just told me I needed to floss more (didn't mention the spots/stains/whatever they are)

Well if its a stain then it won't necessarily "scrape off". Sometimes teeth just become... discolored. HJ has the same problem. Whitening toothpaste helps a little!

The dentist uses specialized tools to scrape the tartar off. It's not something you could scrape off with a fingernail or anything, and you don't want to use anything else, so you don't damage the tooth's enamel.

Ask your dentist if you should be using a tartar-control toothpaste when you go.

Thanks. I hope that's all it is. I think my next appt is late summer/early fall...I might just wait to ask then. For now, I gotta floss more

My brother has "lines" in some of his teeth, his dentist said it was too much sugary foods & liquids. His dentist told him to cut back on sodas & juices.

I do drink a lot of pop...I've been trying to cut back on it though...

My yellow line fell off & you don't wanna know whats on the other side.. needless to say, when I go to PEI I'll be returning home with 1 less tooth. Oddly enough, PEI is FAR cheaper to get teeth pulled as all the dentists here want to do 100 different things to me & I cannot afford that.. I just want it ripped out so I can go home.
