Ever since I have come of age, I have always been aware of a stigma, my brown teeth.
It has hindered many things in my life, stopped me from getting some things..
They say be a man, be confident.. But how can that be? When at any slight conversation , u feel your teeth is being looked at..
This stigma is the major reason why I never enjoyed primary and secondary school. I was the assistant head boy in my primary school but never got featured in any of their video productions. Secondary school was worst, I remembered a girl I admire telling my friends to advise me on brushing my teeth.that day was one of the saddest days of my life.
Now I am in my first year in the University and I am feeling the pang . I want to be able to talk without being timid , oh Lord! I have ideas, I want to be able to express them..
I have applied steps like brushing 3 times a day with a hard brush, lime and baking powder, banana peels all to no avail, would have gone for the whitening kits but not financially stable to purchase those luxuries.. The last attempt I made was when I went to my school dentist center recently , missed lectures, the dentist said, it was caused by a drug I was given in my childhood, and it will be polished and scraped..i was joyous and I obtained NHIS form because I couldn't afford the fee.
Alas after the scrapping and polishing, I checked the mirror and my teeth was the same.. Even more coloured.. I couldn't complain much cos I did it free
.. This might be trivial to you, but to me, it means a lot..
Oh lord, I know you have been good to me cos I am alive and healthy, but Lord, I really desire a white normal teeth, I want no sparkling teeth, just take this brownness away

if you dont have mouth odour, you dont need to bother yourself.

Use smokers toothbrush and brush your teeth morning and evening

still visit a dentist
maybe a teaching hospital

something could still be possibly done.

yes
Nevertheless visit other dentist

There is nothing that can be done about it. Your mum must have taken some antibiotics while you were in her womb. That was what caused the discoloration of your teeth.
