I had a jaw osteotomy last year and was told to use corsodyl, but not when to stop. That resulted in my teeth turning black (not all, all were stained though). Because of the osteotomy, I couldn't open my mouth properly so was unable to see the black. I was under the care of a lot of doctors and no one noticed it until I told them. It is now a year on and the very visible staining is still there, it has but a dampener on the 8 year brace treatment and operation. It feels like hard work for nothing. My ortho said today there is no amount of scale/polishing that could remove it. Is there anyone I can contact about this? Because my teeth are now stained due to the failings of the Dr's, Nurses and Dentists whose care I was under.
--------------------
It might be an idea to go to a doctor and explain that the situation is leaving you very distressed and depressed. Explain that it's effecting your life, that you no longer want to go out and socialise as your extremely paranoid about people looking at your teeth. Also say that your worried about bad breath etc - IF you can convince a doctor that it's stressing you out to the point where you don't feel you can carry on with a "normal" life then they may help you. Good Luck Also - I can understand you feeling anger towards the Nurses, Dr's and dentists but they would have done the best they could IMO. I know it's easier to have someone to blame but it won't really get you anywhere. It's best to just try to move on and do the best you can to get the damage fixed.
