I rarely talk to anyone about their teeth but my sister. I am so used to what I have I stopped getting jealous of people with nice teeth :) Really, no one else knows how we suffer.

I have whitening trays my dentist made me and I get these syringes filled with whitener. I use it occasionally. Another syringe comes with a numbing gel in case you're sensitive to the whitener. I notice in some of my pictures one of my 2 front teeth kind of shines. It's a real tooth and its been bugging me. I can't figure out why it shines. In professional pictures, it doesn't show like that. I don't get those too often!

My kids don't take good enough care of their teeth. They're white but I don't think they go to the dentist very often. My oldest trashed her teeth with drugs but right now she is in rehab and they are fixing her up. She's going to get a bridge and several fillings. She's missing several teeth in the back. She has a cavity between 2 of her front teeth and I wanted to cry when I saw her with that last year.

She's a walking heartbreak for me but you have it much worse with yours. My son smokes and his teeth look yellowed to me. But, I can't say a word to him. He's defensive.

Some days I wonder why the good Lord blessed me with 4 kids!! I'm sure I didn't think I'd still be worrying about them when they got this age.
