My dentist as a child recognized I was excessively prone to cavities. When my adult teeth started to grow in spotted yellow and brown, his suspicions were confirmed.

Although for the past 10 years I've gone to the dentist 1-2 times per year, this was not the case throughouit my teens and twenties. My longest period without seeing a dentist was nealy 8 years. My diet is full of sugar, I never floss, and brushing is only once per day before I go to bed.

I appreciate you reading my blog. <br /><br />Telling a dentists about Dentinogenesis Imperfecta is like telling a cook about pots and pans. <br /><br />I know about DI and AI.
