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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

What is it with dentists with HORRIBLE bed-side manners?! I had a run in with a new dentist last week. I went to bed with my teeth being just fine...woke up and one was chipped. So I went in and he yelled at me because I couldn't tell him how I did it, and accused me of lying to him. I went home to see my regular dentist..and it was a calcium deficeny (ahhhh....pregnancy. Lol.)

You may have "FLUORIDOSIS". Check this out at http://wikipedia.org & www.google.com Enter the term in the searchbar at* http://www.mercola.com Consider a CHLORELLA* detox. Use fluoride free toothpaste, and get a REVERSE OSMOSIS water filter.

metonymy (#22), I know exactly how you feel. Most people here are very ignorant and whenever there's a post that involves yellow teeth they keep saying it's gross and that it must be bad oral hygiene while nothing in the original post indicates such. I also have always had yellowish teeth (inherited them from my father), and I brush and floss just like everyone else, don't smoke or drink coffee, etc, and yet they're yellow. And it's a real pity that most people here (and in real life) don't know or even want to know that yellow teeth might be genetic. But oh well. At least some of us know and don't immediately jump to conclusions about the OP.
