Previous dentist I left damaged my lower teeth for a failed partial denture process. He shaved off the top of them because they were hitting partial too hard. Also took a bit of my small molars. The lower teeth had sharp points on top so i went back and asked him to smoothen that up twice. The second time he said he would also polish them. Well to my surprise when i got refunded from all this mess and returned from last time there, I realized my teeth were all scratched. I decided never to return there again. I went back to an old dentist that helped me years ago and he polished the teeth twice, which relieved the scratches. Now the teeth are all towards right a bit too soft. When my mouth dries theres a catching sensation on one tooth towards the bottom to the roots. Theres an uneveness now inbetween the lower teeth. There are also small gaps resulting. Theres a complete disbalance, some surfaces too thick, rough thin edges on the middle 2 teeth where they intersect since they are crooked..i feel more polish and thinning out will continue causing more problems. The roots towards the bottom have a sharpness to them i feel with my tongue specially when mouth dries. A tooth is too thick and feels soapy, enamel texture changes when mouth dries. I have resorted to putting wax inbetween these problem spots inbetween each lower tooth. If i dont have wax i lose it. I will return to this current doctor to make my partial dentures when i get my lower teeth sorted by a new highly rated doctor on the 9th. The doctor that screwed me over is HISTORY. I went through a nightmare, but i dont want to give up! Its. Abit of a wait until the 9th. I have been looking into dental bonding and that seems like the solution im certain. I have lost enamel, surfaces are messed, gaps, rough, thick and thin edges. If bonding would save my teeth for now I am up for it. Please encourage. If any dentists can Input on this even more helpful!!! Thanks

it is crucial to seek an evaluation from a dentist who specializes in restorative dentistry or prosthodontics. They can assess the extent of damage and recommend appropriate treatments. A thorough examination including X-rays may be necessary to understand the underlying issues better. This will help identify any structural problems with your teeth that need addressing.

When visiting a new dentist, clearly communicate all previous treatments and current concerns. Providing detailed information about what has happened will assist them in formulating an effective treatment plan tailored specifically for you.

Since you have an appointment with a new dentist on January 9th, it would be beneficial to discuss your concerns about enamel loss and surface irregularities during this visit. Ask about dental bonding specifically—how it could help in your case and what alternatives might exist if needed. ensure that this new dentist understands your previous experiences so they can tailor their approach accordingly. It’s crucial to establish trust with this new provider since you’ve had negative experiences in the past. ased on what you’ve described regarding enamel loss and discomfort due to rough surfaces on your teeth, dental bonding could potentially provide relief and improve the aesthetics of your smile while you await further treatment options for your lower teeth.

If you can get good photos, I'd be interested to see if you have unusual wear on your teeth. Your story sounds like that. I see many people with attritioned teeth from too many acidic drinks. If I can identify such a cause, then I have a better chance of educating the patient before starting treatment.
Do you predominantly drink non-tap water? Or did so in the past?
How old are you?
