Question
HI,
IN THE PAST 2 YEARS I HAVE LOST 50PDS AND HAD A CHILD. I HAVE HAD VERY LITTLE PROBLEMS WITH MY TEETH BEFORE THIS. SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD TWO OF MY FRONT TEETH CHIP SIGHTLY. COULD THERE BE A PROBLEM WITH MY ENAMEL? ALSO, IVE NOTICED THE TWO FRONT TEETH HAVE A RIDGE BEHIND THEM. IS THIS NORMAL? THANK YOU
The chipped teeth are not related to your weight loss or pregnancy.There is no problem with your enamel it was formed completely when you were a child.The ridge may be due to your bite or simply wear and tear.Get the chipped teeth restored and you're good to go.
