Hi, hopemary. I'm the community manager for dental, and I just wanted to let you know that the way we generally show people our pictures is by starting our own story, or review, as kdawgg has done. You can click on this link to get started--it's just a simple form and it holds your hand through the process :). Then once it's published, you can let kdawgg know and she can go look at your story there and see your pictures.

You're beautiful and your teeth were beautiful as well.

Have you tried at-home whitening before? I've had great results with it myself, and I even read a review of some White Strips Professional and they said it was fantastic. Doesn't even require a doctor to do it!

Oh no, I definitely got sensitive teeth! It's just that it only lasts about a day at the worst. The whitening itself, according to our doctors, isn't damaging. But it definitely causes sensitivity. You can avoid the worst of it by going very slowly, but when I accidentally left the whitening gel in overnight one day (instead of taking it off after an hour--I fell asleep), OMG. I was definitely not able to drink anything comfortably the next day. But the day after was fine. If she uses the strips every day, she will be sensitive every day. It really dries out your teeth.
I'm also surprised whitening wasn't offered, since it's such a relatively easy fix, unless you have tetracycline staining.
How many veneers did you have placed, and who is paying for all of the remediation, and at what cost? Thanks again.
But the important things at this point, are that you can save as many teeth as possible, and that others can get this information. People do need to understand that veneers are invasive--that the teeth need to be prepped, and you can never take that back. Some prepping is lighter, but even 'no prep' veneers like Lumineers alter the original teeth so going back is not really an option.
Regarding the posts--are they implants? I've never heard of this intervention before. Are they, like, titanium that is screwed into your jaw somehow?
Also, I've never heard of the secretion thing. I mean, I've heard of salivating and stuff when there are foreign objects in the mouth or what the mouth perceives as foreign objects, but these secretions, are they coming from your teeth? It sounds debilitating.
