What are some teeth whitening horror stories?

A woman once had a teeth whitening treatment at a place that was not very reputable. After the treatment, her gums started to recede. It was really shocking as it not only affected the appearance of her teeth but also made her teeth more sensitive to hot and cold. It took a long time and a lot of dental work to try to correct the issue.

There are stories where people got 'turkey teeth' and had constant pain. The fitting might not have been proper. For example, the teeth could be rubbing against the gums in a wrong way, causing irritation and soreness. Some also faced problems with speaking clearly as the new teeth alignment affected their normal speech patterns. This led to embarrassment in social and professional situations.

Pain is a very common element. Like in stories where people have extreme toothaches that seem to never go away. Another is decay. For example, when someone discovers that their teeth are rotting away from the inside and it's too late to save them easily.

Common elements include the transformation of teeth. They might change shape, like becoming pointed like fangs or growing into grotesque shapes. There's also often a sense of isolation for the victim. They may be alone with their dental horror, unable to get help or be believed. The use of sound is another element. The scraping or grinding of teeth, or the sound of teeth falling out can add to the horror. And in many stories, there is a sense of inevitability, that no matter what the character does, their teeth are doomed to a horrible fate.

Once I had a really bad toothache. It started suddenly at night. The pain was so intense that I couldn't sleep at all. I went to the dentist the next day and found out that I had a deep cavity that had reached the nerve. The drilling and filling process was like a horror. Another time, my friend had a tooth that got knocked out during a sports game. The sight of the bloody socket and the tooth on the ground was truly horrifying.

My friend's wisdom teeth horror story is that one of her wisdom teeth grew sideways. When the dentist tried to extract it, it took a long time. There was a lot of bleeding during the process and she ended up with a severe infection afterwards. She had to take antibiotics for a week and deal with constant pain in her jaw.

Sure. One teeth horror story is about a guy who had a severe toothache. He ignored it for days until one night, he felt something wriggling in his mouth. When he spat, a maggot came out. It turned out that the tooth decay had become so bad that it attracted flies which laid eggs in his mouth.

I woke up with a strange taste in my mouth. Looking in the mirror, I saw my teeth were gone, replaced by jagged shards of bone.

Pain is a very common element. Most people experience a great deal of pain during the extraction process or the recovery period.

A friend of mine had a wisdom teeth removal horror story. After the surgery, she got an infection that spread to her jaw. Her jaw became so swollen and painful that she had to be hospitalized for a week. They had to give her strong antibiotics through an IV. The whole experience was really scary for her. She said she could hardly open her mouth and the pain was unbearable. Also, the cost of the additional treatment due to the infection was really high, which added to the stress.
