I had the exact problem! From the same medication. I always thought I was alone in that venture. I hated my teeth, every picture of me was me not smiling. When I had my kids they would say I had monster teeth. They did not mean to be hurtful, but it was painful my whole life and I trained myself to talk without showing my teeth. I feel your pain and I feel you joy! With me I hated my teeth so badly that I would not take care of them, tried pulling them out myself once. Now I have false teeth but they are white! and I smile all the time!

I feel your pain, I have tried everything in my life before veneers, I paid $500 to get the solution for bleaching, and the process, lightened them a little but still were brown. I pretty much gave up, except I did go to dentist twice a year and had structurally sound teeth. I am so glad you got your dentures and you are smiling again. Do you notice that you aren't in many family pictures? I was the camera girl because hated my picture taken.

YEA I never smiled! and always was the photo taker too. I am happy for you! It would be nice to have my own teeth but I do not miss the brown ones what so ever! And I don't envy people with white teeth anymore either!

You can see how dark they were when we got married. That is what I have had all my life. It is really nice to have a white smile. Thanks for all the compliments. It is wonderful
