Today, I went to the dentist. After drilling my teeth for what seemed like hours, he gave me a long speech about how if I continue to smoke, the yellowing of my teeth won't be the only problem. I don't smoke. I never have. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went to the dentist and she told me, "If you don't stop smoking, yellow teeth aren't the only thing you'll have to worry about." I don't even smoke. FML
Today, my coworker told me I should stop smoking cigarettes because it makes my breath "smell like shit" and makes my teeth look as yellow as corn. I've never smoked a cigarette in my life. FML
Today, I was able to get dental care for the first time in 4 years. I had been going through all the hygiene motions, but without professional input all that time, no one was there to warn me about the sour candies I had been eating, and how they ruined your teeth anyway. My teeth are well beyond salvageable now. FML
Today, I had a long conversation with my fiancé about how smoking menthol cigarettes is not a substitute for brushing your teeth. He still isn't convinced. FML
Today, I started the bleaching treatments that my dentist recommended. Now, my two front teeth have ultra white spots, the rest of my teeth are still yellow and the roof of my mouth is burned. FML
Today, I went to the dentist at 8:30 for a check up. I walked out at 2:00 with a root canal and several thousand dollars in debt. I guess I'm not having a wedding this year or quitting the job I hate. FML
Today, I went to the dentist for the first time in years. His first comment upon inspecting my teeth: "Meth. Hell of a drug." FML
Today, I decided to finally bleach my teeth. After 45 minutes of stinging pain, my teeth are still yellow as ever. My gums, on the other hand, are opaque white. FML
Today, I was flossing my teeth, which I do only to not get yelled at (chewed out?) by my dentist. Dentist I’ll now be seeing later today because the floss broke off a corner of one of my molars. FML
Today, I went to the dentist, telling him proudly that I had flossed for two straight weeks. The dentist told me that flossing wouldn't undo “Whatever happened back there.” FML

I brush my teeth all the time and my teeth still suck. It's genetics. Maybe you inherited shitty teeth. My teeth are wicked sensitive to hot and cold, they're kind of tinted yellow, and it hurts when I have too much sugar. A mento cracked one of my molars in half and for WHATEVER reason they haven't taken it out yet. Anyway... It isn't entirely your fault. I brush like crazy all the time, but the dentists always ******* lecture me... >.> You could always try brushing with a wicked strong toothpaste or something... Maybe some of those stupid whitening strip things...

I'm sure if you would have said "I don't smoke" he would have began a lecture about how drinking coffee/tea does the exact same thing. He was just doing his job.

omg i can totally relate! my dental hygenist told me yesterday that my teeth were so bad it looked like i chewed tobacco. she then stood up and was like "you don't chew tobacco... do you?" i don't and i never had. dental hygenists are such bitches. i brush my teeth like crazy but i just inherited soft teeth. it sucks.

I had to leave my former dentist because all they would do is berate me for my gums and teeth, even after telling me how it's genetic. Once the hygienist actually made me cry.

#16: wtf is your problem? Seriously, you don't even know the OP. Dude, gtfo. Wow, that sucks. You should lay off the coffee/tea. Because that could be the reason, and try brushing your teeth with a little baking soda. Brush your teeth twice a day, eat BEFORE you brush your teeth. Floss right after you brush your teeth. Mouthwash, oh and try to get some of those tablets where they show you if you have plaque or not. *sorry I went to the dentist yesterday, and they had this good oral hygine[?] video on replay:)*

So your teeth are so yellow that he would assume you are a smoker? YDI for not having good hygiene.

yeah...my dentist gave me the same speech when I went in to whiten my teeth. When I told him I didn't smoke and never would, he told me to stop drinking so much coffee, coca-cola, chocolate...so I just told him he'd make a lot of money off of me bc I would never give up those things. He smiled lol! Just tell your dentist that!!!
