Dec 04, 2007 by KJ_19 | Posted in Dental

I havent been to the dentist for a while. I was bulimic for 3 years and i also have my speech pierced, so in fear of the dentist determination out i was bulimic i havent went for a while. The enamel on my teeth is alomost gone....well i can mention i dont have much. i have also chipped my tooth with my language ring a while back. i brush, floss, and use mouthwash habitually......but will my teeth rot due to the lack of enamel if i keep brushing them? i am active to the dentist, i just want to comprehend before hand if i will have rotting teeth. i have alot of irritability in them, and i am scared.....will my teeth rot?

Darling KJ,

In some respects I am like yourself, a bulimic who has binged and purged their way through many a unsympathetic times. I'm a recovering bulimic, but so are we all (even in times when we're three years life our last episode, we're still bulimics in recovery) when it comes to this infirmity.

You may have erred (wrongly) by not telling your dentist, but you're on the entr to recovery now and wanting to seek medical recommendation, good for you. Your dentist will likely demand you with adequate information upon your arrival, with Petty to no skirting around the issue -- but that's what you miss to hear, the truth.

You will garner A LOT of tenderness and support from someone if you are upfront, forthcoming and not duplicitous. Give him (or her) the careful analogue of what you've been through, and remember not to keep ANYTHING back.

Will your teeth rot without enamel? Yes, because underneath that enamel is your dentin, an courtyard of the tooth that has little protection against acid tear.

You need to remineralize your tooth enamel directly, the need is obviously apparent. You can win over the counter toothpastes which are high in fluoride (I mention prevident), which will remineralize your teeth. I bring up you also eat foods that are high in calcium, such as cheese and dairy products.

Acceptable oral hygiene is what may have protected you up until now, but I cannot be for infallible. I'm hoping for the best as I'm an optimist.

Can a pin hole in the enamel on enamel-coated cast iron cookware cause enamel to crack?

Sep 26, 2007 by Mianame | Posted in Other - Home & Garden

We simply got a shipment of enamel-coated cast iron cookware today and the skillet seems to have unfinished enamel on it. There's a grudging, pin-sized hole on the bottom on the inside. We were wondering if anything could get between the enamel and the dash iron or if it might chip at a later friend?

Or any other problems it might cause? Please let us know if we want to return the product.

I would bring it. Once a chip or opening occurs on enamel coated cookware,rust will start forming, and resume to form. Resulting in an on going rust,and chipping off of the enamel.Can you covenant this? Maybe it just sounds waggish, but that is what happens. Byee

Metal Chik #9: Hot Glass and Cold Enamel

It's all about enamel! This week we're booming to take another look at Peggy's rattling solicitation, this outmoded focusing on enamel. Then ...

Early tooth enamel defects may lead to premature death

Those who acquired tooth enamel defects while in the womb or near the start teens are at a peril of near the start termination, analysis shows.

Emory University (EU) anthropologist George Armelagos says: "Primal remains are providing muscular, carnal token that people who acquired tooth enamel defects while in the womb or initial babyhood tended to die earlier.

"During prehistory, the stresses of transmissible blight, ill-fated nutrition and philosophical trauma were likely outrageous. The teeth show the effect," he says.

Armelagos led a methodical study of defects in teeth enamel and prematurely mortality. The MS is the first synopsis of out-dated hint for the Barker theorem - the impression that many matured diseases conceive during foetal situation and initially minority.

"Teeth are like a snapshot into the life," Armelagos says. "Since the sequence of enamel situation is well known, it's accomplishable to judge the age at which a physiological disruption occurred. The manifest is there, and it's sure."

The Barker speculation is named after epidemiologist David Barker, who during the 1980s began studying links between near the start infant condition and later grown-up fettle.

Tooth enamel can give a exceptionally influential dossier of physiological events, since the enamel is secreted in a equiangular, bandeau-like model, starting from the relocate trimester of fetal advance.

Disruptions in the development of the enamel, which can be caused by plague, second-rate victuals or unconscious spotlight, show up as grooves on the tooth outside.

Armelagos and other bioarcheologists have esteemed the pull between dental enamel and at daybreak mortality for years.

For the Evolutionary Biology letter-paper, Armelagos led a assess of the manifestation from eight published studies, applying the lens of the Barker premise to remains dating back as far as one million years.

One mull over of a body of Australopithecines from the South African Pleistocence showed a almost 12-year taper off in plebeian being expectancy associated with initially enamel defects.
