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

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 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

Great Success

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

Drill baby drill

Today, my dentist told me I have 8 cavities. I'd jokingly bragged about never having a single cavity for 25 years right before he started checking. He laughed and said, "Well, that lucky streak is over!" then went on to drill the shit out of my teeth. I still can't feel the left side of my face. FML

Today, after 6 dentist visits, 2 root canals, and $1,500 that I'll likely have to sell vital organs to pay, the agonizing tooth pain I've had for months is unrelenting. Apparently, shrugging and offering to experimentally yank all my bottom teeth is my smurf-shit of a dentist's actual plan. FML

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.
