I dont know how many cavaties I have, I think 4. But I do have bad discolorization. In 9th grade I too, had a guy pick on me about my teeth I went home in tears and the next day I had made an appointment to get them whitened. My mouth seems like its always dry so I get a lot of buildup on them too. I think its gotta be due to the inhaled meds we take.

I have about 10 fillings and got my teeth whitened three years ago, they weren't too badly yellowed but I used to notice it myself. Now I use the Crest white strips if they look a bit discoloured. But I think they are strong enough. Can't believe how many people reply to a question about teeth!

Chances are good its from CF. What antibiotics has she ever used? What nebs? My discoloration is mainly from antibiotics used years ago. We are not just talking yellowing...we are talking it looks like someone went on the inside of my teeth & scraped the white away leaving a gray look.

I've had 1 cavity in my 30 years. And all my wisdom teeth pulled. Unfortantely I also have tetracycline staining on my teeth, so they're yellow/gray, but I don't think it's too noticeable on me. My dentist once told me that because alot of us CFers don't produce enzymes to digest food, there are less in the mouth and that results in less tooth decay. However, that wouldn't make sense for those of you with lots of cavities, so who really knows!!

I've only had 1 cavity in my life and I'm about to get my wisdom teeth cut out. I've never really had a problem with my teeth- knock on wood. When I was growing up I didn't get put on a lot of antibiotics so that could be why my teeth aren't an issue.
