Am I getting tooth decay, or something else?

First, I have braces, been on for like a year now, and I've been cleaning my teeth at least twice a day. About two weeks ago, my middle front tooth on the top had like a little "dip" in it, or. . .a chip, in the center, like of the outer most layer, and then, the teeth next to it started doing the same thing but closer to the root. Today, its about 5 or 6 teeth, and when I brush, it tends to chip more pieces off. I use a soft brissel tooth brush and have been doing it as light as I can, I can't get this to stop. I don't have dental insurance so I would like to know what this would be called, so I can look up the best plan for me, and what it costs per tooth to fix.

That sounds serious. You should definitely get to a dentist or doctor ASAP. Are you taking any new medicine? I remember reading somewhere that certain medications can (sometimes) cause dental problems. Braces are not causing this problem. But if you are not using the special flossing loop to get underneath your braces, you may have tartar buildup. In time, that leads to tooth decay.
Reply:ouch! that sounds serious. u better get that looked at right away. i know a good dentist....remember that guy in that dustin hoffermin movie? 'is it safe?'
Reply:ok i heard braces can make ur teeth rot but this is unbelievable..i think you should floss and brush more often because this isnt supposed 2 happen..or it could be you have really sensative teeth..i suggest get that checked immediatly! GOOD LUCK
Reply:I'd get to the dentist, or at least the orthodontist that is caring for your braces. I'm wondering if it could be excess cement from your brackets being placed? Get it looked at. HAving straight teeth arent going to matter if they all break off and fall out! Good Luck to you.

Reply:It sounds like a problem with the enamel of your teeth. Go to the dentist that put the braces on your teeth. It's best to be evaluated than leaving this alone. This is an unusual presentation and does not appear to be a decay problem which is usually accompanied by pain. Good luck and remember these are the only teeth you will ever have.
