I am 37, I had severe graves disease, thyroid removed in 08, then had gastric bypass in aug of 09. Well since then I have gotten sicker! Yes, I have lost a vast amount of weight, currently weigh 119lbs for the last 2 years. Anyway, in June of 2011, I went into thyroid storm, almost didnt make it, was in ICU almost 8 days, after this episode, and I mean within 45 days my teeth and mouth began to hurt. I mean I cry! they are black around the gums and are turning brown, all this in 45 days, so I looked online because I dont have dental. And I see a lot of reference to METH MOUTH. I HAVE NEVER SMOKED METH IN MY LIFE! What is going on.
Hii. Welcome to Chat Doctor. I have gone through your query and past medical history. Firstly since you have undergone gastric bypass surgery in the past, one of the reason of your brownish tooth discoloration could be due to gastroesophageal reflux leading to tooth erosion and consequent pain and sensitivityOther reasons of brownish discoloration are1.rampant dental caries 2. Excessive consumption of tea, coffee or tobacco3. Chromogenic bacteria 4. Overuse of antiseptic mouthwash5. Various systemic medications can also lead to tooth discoloration. It would be best if you consult a dentist for the confirmed diagnosis as physical examination is very important in your case. Hope you find this reply helpful regards.
