My 8 month old Maltese has lost all her baby teeth but one in the front. The permanent tooth is also there.?

I had her fixed in February and both of the teeth were there at that time. I didn%26#039;t think anything about it. My vet never said anything about removing it. Since I have read some of the answers on here I am worried about it. Should I pay to have her put to sleep to have it removed. She only weighs 3.4 lbs. I hate to have to do that to her.

My 8 month old Maltese has lost all her baby teeth but one in the front. The permanent tooth is also there.?
I would have the vet take a look and determine if it needs to be removed. If its loose it may fall out on its own.





I think the vet was negligent by not taking care of this when she was there for her surgery. The vet should have noticed this retained tooth when she was examined before surgery. Vets are supposed to give a thorough exam to the animal before putting them under anesthesia. I would definately question the vet about this.





Meanwhile, you could give her crunchy milkbones to chew on. Maybe that will help loosen the tooth so it will fall out. It is very possible that this tooth will have to be removed under anesthesia. Good Luck!
Reply:Well I had to have my dogs teeth removed, but from old age. On humans a dentist would take out a baby tooth if it refuses to fall out, so I would think if you need to and can afford it have it removed. But dogs adapt to things like that. So it is up to you if you want to.

Should a child's baby teeth cavities be filled? Or let it fall off & wait for permanent teeth to maintain it?

I took my boys to the dentist and found out they both have some cavities and will cost almost 100/cavitiy to be filled. Just for their health, I want to know if it is okay and cause no health risk if they don%26#039;t have it filled. Fillings on baby teeth seems like a lost cause because they will lose them soon. Are there certain teeth like molars that I should go ahead and have filled? I don%26#039;t want them to be in pain or have health problems. Anyone knowledgeable in this area? Help!!

Should a child%26#039;s baby teeth cavities be filled? Or let it fall off %26amp; wait for permanent teeth to maintain it?
I want to say that I am not a dentist. But I went through the same thing with my son when he was 9. He was so scared to go to the dentist when he was young, we didn%26#039;t want to force him. He would freak out just sitting in the chair. When I finally got him to cooperate he had 14 teeth that needed fixing, most were baby teeth. The dentist explained that some of those baby teeth should still be in there till 12 years old or so. and the others could become infected. He showed me an article of a 13 year old boy in Baltimore that actually died from a cavity. Apparently they can become so infected that the infection and poison can go to the brain. Now, I don%26#039;t want to scare you to death with that, but it is true. My son had to go into a hospital and be put to sleep to fix all his teeth at once, the rear teeth have metal caps on them. The good news is...he is 10 now, he went for his last check up in December, he had NO cavities and had a good experience at the dentist. His anxiety has dropped now that he sees that the dentist is not always a scary place to be. We are working on better oral hygiene to keep it that way. Now, we drive an hour just to see a special pediatric dentist that works with children specifically. They use gas in the office for fillings and are very kid friendly. It%26#039;s worth the hour drive, trust me.


Take into account the age of your kids and how long they will have those baby teeth in there. Find a good understanding dentist and be honest, ask questions. If it%26#039;s a money issue, tell them. They will figure the best way for both you and your child to get through this. I know how it is.


If you happen to live anywhere near Philadelphia, actually Norristown, that is where the dentist is that we take our son to. They are excellent with kids. email me if you need their name. hpk5569@yahoo.com
Reply:The teeth need to be filled.
Reply:Well, I know from experience, that they want to fill baby teeth because the cavity can go into the permanent tooth underneath. You should deffinantly get them filled.
Reply:WELL SINCE I%26#039;M DON%26#039;T KNOW THE CHILD AGE I CAN%26#039;T HELP U BUT CHECK OUT THIS SITE IT WILL GIVE U LOTS OF INFO...AND UR QUESTION IS THERE TOO...

In a dog, when would the last of the permanent teeth come in?

My 13 pound, 7 month old poodle mix still has not gotten her teeth between her canines and her molars. Is this normal? Also, her lower front teeth are very very small while her canine teeth seem about average.





She eats well and chews on toys etc with no apparent problems but I do see her constantly shift her food to the back of her mouth so that she can get a grip on it.





Thanks for your replies.

In a dog, when would the last of the permanent teeth come in?
It can take till 8 months for permanent teeth to come in,I%26#039;d wait just a bit longer.
Reply:Thank you. I like your answer too. Co-incidentally I received a postcard from the vet saying that she is due for a shot. So this is going to work out perfectly! Report It

Reply:A lot of smaller dogs have teeth issues. You should probably bring her to a vet so they can x-ray her mouth to see if there are any problems that you can%26#039;t see. They can fix her up good as new!
Reply:Your dog should already have the permanent teeth. You need to go to a vet that has training in dental disease and has access to dental radiography (different from regular radiographs in both technique and machinery). Vets get minimal dental training, so finding the right vet is very important. I refer all of mine to someone that is doing her fellowship in dentistry.

Can u please tell me if a permanent teeth filling hurts?

im very scared because im having it tomorrow i remember something they said i think they said they need to replace my old filling with a permanent filling one. can you please tell me the steps they do to do the permanent filling please. oh yeah also tell me if it hurts! i hope not

Can u please tell me if a permanent teeth filling hurts?
i am sure you will get shot of anesthezia and then you won%26#039;t feel a thing! My dentist even put some gel on my gum and then i don%26#039;t feel a needle at all! It will be OK
Reply:Your dentist will numb you so you won%26#039;t feel anything but the prick of a needle. It isn%26#039;t any worse than when you got your old filling.
Reply:No, just a little pinch from the needle is all you should feel. It won%26#039;t be much different from when you had the other filling.
Reply:Actually I just got teeth filled today, and I can tell you it is no where near as bad as I expected! It depends on how bad the cavity is though, it may hurt a little, you can ask to be numbed though. The worst part is the sound the pain is bareable. I hadn%26#039;t been to the denist in year cause I was terrified, and it isn%26#039;t that bad.
Reply:they basically do the same thing they did to fill it the first time,and I%26#039;m sure this did hurt you some-didn%26#039;t it?
Reply:Take it easy. When you had your old filling put in the dentist gave you a painkilling injection and drilled a hole to remove decay and to make it clean for your filling.


To replace your old one, which is probably mercury and bad for your health, he will do exactly the same thing as last time but will put in a filling which looks better and is better for your health.


All you will feel is the injection.


That%26#039;s it.
Reply:They pull out the old filling however they can, sometimes they are ready to come out or they have to drill here and there to get it out.





Then they clean the tooth and drill to get a clean surface for the new filling, they dont take much off the tooth by doing that. Then they put their hocus pocus stuff on it to sterilize it, make the tooth bond to the filling and then voila, its in there.





the worst part is the annoying drilling.





If it hurts, you didnt get enough novacaine, tell the doc if you feel pain - but that means you have to have another shot.





Dont eat until the novacaine wears off, you might bite the inside of your mouth or tongue.
Reply:It sounds to me either you have a temporary filling from a root canal or they are replacing an old filling (silver?) with a bonded filling (white).





The steps on redoing a filling are as follows:


You may or may not need anesthsia (depends on the size of the filling), a root canaled tooth will not need anesthesia b/c the nerve has already been removed.


The old filling will be removed. If there is any decay underneath the filling that will be removed as well.


A blue substance will be applied to the tooth ( this is called Etchant or Etch). It will be rinsed off in a matter of seconds. ( It tastes sour so be prepared)


The tooth will be dryed and must stay dry from now until the filling is cured.


A primer will be placed on the tooth. And then air dryed.


Bonding adhesive will be applied and light cured.


Then the composite filling material will be packed into the hole. This will be light cured as well. It may take a few layers to complete.





You should not be in pain at all. If you are numb...when the numbness wears off it is possible to be a little tender (depending on the size of the filling and if the tooth has had RCT). If you do experience tenderness or sensitivity it is suggested to take ibuprofen to reduce any inflammation that has been caused.





You%26#039;ll be fine. Fillings are not a big deal. I hope I helped out by giving you the run down of the procedure. I know it always helps to ease patients minds if they know what to expect!
Reply:The only part that hurts is the shot to numb the gums.


It smells like burnt bread when they drill the tooth.


You%26#039;ll be able to eat about 30 min after the dentist gets done.


So it can%26#039;t hurt too bad. Huh?

I have yellow teeth.When i was small i had white ones but as permanent tooth came,mine teeth came out yellow.?

please suggest me some tips or any thing to make my teeth white.

I have yellow teeth.When i was small i had white ones but as permanent tooth came,mine teeth came out yellow.?
May be your morning and bedtime tooth brushing isnot proper. Try Glister tooth paste, its a bit costly but it is good. Try chewing gum for some time and neem tree stick straight from the tree.
Reply:genetics are only one of the reasons for yellow teeth. Taking Medication while a child can be a cause too. The otc whiteners work if you can%26#039;t pay for a dentist to do it
Reply:Well, i know u obviously brush your teeth but make sure you brush them up and down not side to side.


U can use listerine after you brush to kill germs that cause yellow teeth.


U can use crest white strips or any of those strips...p.s don%26#039;t use whitening toothpaste, as doctors say they make your teeth sensitive...i think the safest way is to use the strips...also drinks like coca cola and coffee etc are known to stain teeth,if you do drink these brush right after and smoking also causes yellow teeth.





Some of lecturers also say that caucasian people tend hto have the yellowiest teeth...i am not trying to be offensive but just check it up, i don%26#039;t know if that is a fact that is genetic that came with ur permanent teeth....ask your dentist ok and if you don%26#039;t have one get one as it might affect your confidence level in the future.
Reply:do you smoke? that causes yellow teeth....do you get your teeth cleaned by a dentist at least twice a year? that would help cut down on the yellowing......try crest whitestrips, they whitein teeth pretty well over time of using them, also their is a tooth paste called pearl drops whiteing toothpaste, it helps to whiten teeth too
Reply:As we all get older, your teeth go darker with age - this is a natural progression.





This could also be from an illness when the teeth were forming eg. high temperature or ear ache. It could be from medications too.





There are a few different things that you can do for a whiter, brighter smile. If you have any fillings or crowns, please remember that these do not bleach due the material they are made of.





You could visit a hygienist and have your teeth professionally scaled and polished. It may only be surface staining and that can be removed when polished.


But if the %26quot;yellow%26quot; colour is in the tooth, it will need to be bleached.





Making our teeth %26quot;whiter%26quot; is simple but teeth will only bleach to their inherit colour.





You could consider laser or %26quot;zoom%26quot; bleaching which is done in office with your dentist. A high concentrate of bleach is painted onto the teeth and a light is used to acclerate the bleach - it takes about 1 hour. This can be expensive about $1200++ and teeth are extremely sensitive for days and days afterwards.





A home bleaching kit is another option. It is less expensive - costs about $250++ and is done at home.


Moulds are taken of teeth and trays are custom made.


It takes about 7 to 10 days - the bleach is a slowly releasing peroxide and teeth will become gradually whiter.





The %26quot;whiting%26quot; toothpaste doesn%26#039;t really work as the bleach is kept on the teeth long enough to really work.





This is my opinion, I hope it helps.

It looks like my 5-year-old has a permanent tooth coming in behind his baby teeth. What should be done?

My son has a bottom tooth coming in, and it%26#039;s behind his bottom baby teeth. As far as I can tell none of his baby teeth are loose--of course he refuses to let me take a look. He doesn%26#039;t seem to be uncomfortable.





Should he see a dentist?

It looks like my 5-year-old has a permanent tooth coming in behind his baby teeth. What should be done?
Usually, the permanent tooth comes in UNDERNEATH the baby tooth, dissolving the roots as it comes in. That%26#039;s how the baby tooth becomes loose enough to fall out. If the baby tooth is loose, encourage him to wiggle it a bit each day to coax it to fall out. If it isn%26#039;t and the permanent tooth continues to grow in behind the tooth, it is best to have a dentist remove the baby tooth as soon as possible so that the permanent one has room to grow in. If you wait too long, the tooth may find its new position farther back and your son may need braces to correct it.
Reply:Yes. Bring him to the dentist.
Reply:this happened to me when i was a kid... he needs to go to a dentist or orthadontist. If he doesnt get it removed and let it grow in straight it can cost you a bundle in braces...
Reply:thats how they grow the new tooth will push is baby tooth out eventually
Reply:I would also suggest taking him to the dentist. My nephew had a similar situation, and there was a small cyst that had to be removed so the baby tooth could come out and the adult tooth could come in...it was not a big deal, but it would have caused more problems if nothing had been done.





Good luck!
Reply:The perm. tooth will push the baby tooth out of the way. I wouldn%26#039;t do anything.
Reply:You do nothing. That%26#039;s a natural thing called a 6 year molar. Some people call it the first molar. We have 4 of these, two upper and two lower and they errupt just behind the last baby tooth in the back. This %26quot;6 year%26quot; molar can errupt anywhere from age 5 to 7. There is nothing wrong and no, he does not need to see a dentist unless he%26#039;s having some problem. I hope this helps. :)
Reply:What lots of the other people are saying too because this happened to my sister and we just waited and the perm tooth pushed her baby tooth out so i would just leave it bu if he gets uncomfortable with it then you should take him to see the dentist.
Reply:If the tooth is in the BACK then sure, it%26#039;s probably just th enormal eruption of the six year molar. If it%26#039;s coming in in the FRONT behind the baby lower incisors, then that could be a concern... If he%26#039;s scheduled to see the dentist within the next 2-3 months anywya, you%26#039;re pobably ok waiting %26#039;til then. If not, you probably want to have it looked at...I can%26#039;t really answer for you w/o looking in your son%26#039;s mouth and/or looking at xrays.





Now, if your son is five years old and doesn%26#039;t see a dentist regularly, you need to get on the horse and get him in ANYway...I think kids shoudl be seen starting at 2 or 3...the American Academy of Pediatric Dentists and the ADA actually says one year old! which is not unreasonable, either.





As for the dentist%26#039;s wife above who said %26quot;don%26#039;t worry%26quot;... I%26#039;m kind of surprised, if only because you%26#039;d think she%26#039;d be more cognizant of where her bread is buttered! Lol... seriously tho%26#039;, I%26#039;m not always saying to run to the dentist for everything, even in cases where I coudl make a buck on it...





good luck!
Reply:My daughter%26#039;s did that. I guess the permanent would eventually push the baby teeth out. I didn%26#039;t think of that and took her to a dentist and had them pulled. It was very simple, almost like just lifting them out.
Reply:sometimes the tooth doesnt push the new tooth out... this happened with my sister and her teeth ended up growing behind her other ones when she was young and now her teeth are not too hot looking. My teeth didnt push other teeth out when I was 5-to 15 so I had to pull them out myself, my dad pulled some out and a dentist also pulled 2 out. If you arent sure go to a dentist but they should push them out!
Reply:This is not uncommon at all. This happens to a lot of kids. I would just let the adult tooth push the baby tooth out. If you want you can have him see a dentist but I am sure all they will do is have you pay tons of money to numb it up and pull the tooth out. I do not think it is worth it but its your choice.

My sister's dog lost two permanent teeth chewing on his cage what should she do?

i am not sure if the teeth came out whole or not my other sister said it did.it was his two canines.he is a pit bull.he was chewing on his cage and broke his teeth and she hasnt taken him to the vet and is putting mouth wash in his mouth to stop any infection from occuring.what should she do tonite?and is mouthwash a good idea?

My sister%26#039;s dog lost two permanent teeth chewing on his cage what should she do?
If it%26#039;s his canine teeth, I GUARANTEE they didn%26#039;t come out completely. The root is almost twice as long as the part you can see.





It really depends on how bad the break is, if you can see a red spot in the center of the tooth, that means the pulp cavity (nerve and blood supply) is exposed, and the tooth/teeth will need to be professionally removed or capped (it%26#039;s hard to find a vet that can cap teeth). If the teeth are NOT removed or capped, then bacteria will have an open door into the dog%26#039;s bloodstream, the teeth will be at constant risk for tooth root abscesses (that open pulp cavity is a nice home for bacteria), and it will also be very painful as the tooth root is exposed to open air.





The mouthwash is pretty worthless, and human mouthwash is very harsh for dogs, and potentially toxic if it contains fluoride (dogs don%26#039;t spit it out like we do). Not much you can do until a vet sees it.
Reply:if it%26#039;s not bothering the dog don%26#039;t worry TOO much don%26#039;t put mouthwas in anymore the dog might swallow some get it to the vet ASAP
Reply:mouthwash for humans is not a good idea. jus watch for gum color to change, if it gets pink, white, it has an infection. though, this can take sometime. no blood?


should see a vet tomorrow, asap.
Reply:mouthwash is for humans only. my dog lost a tooth and we didnt notice for a long time, nothing bad happened. canines are big teeth tho, if there is a root on the tooth a vet may be able to put it back.
Reply:holy crap , why is this dog doing this ? is he so bored and been in his cage for so long that he will destroy his teeth


mouth wash ,what will that do clean the rest of them ?





listen take him to your vet ASAP before you get charged with cruelty.and let him out the cage ,
Reply:He is obviously very frustrated inside the cage. Give him four or five really hard bones and dental bones to work on. He really wants to be outside that cage.
Reply:Why is the dog caged and how long is he being kept in that cage are more pressing than trying to correct damage already done. Dogs need exercise, human contact and dog safe toys to chew on. If he is caged most of the time, no wonder he broke his teeth, trying to chew his way out. Take him to a vet and let the vet treat his mouth with safe medications and procedures, The dog may need to have the remainder of the broken teeth extracted and put on an antibiotic to prevent infection. Don`t attempt to treat at home, get him to a vet ASAP.

What did it cost for the permanent teeth to be manufactured and installed after implants for the upper set?

I am about to undergo surgery to remove my upper teeth and have implants installed. I was wondering if anyone knows what the cost for the permanant teeth that will attach to the implant once the healing is completed have cost. Is it the same as a regular crown or is it less costly?

What did it cost for the permanent teeth to be manufactured and installed after implants for the upper set?
Actually the crowns that are placed on top of your implants are usually a little more expensive due to the fact that they are made of more material than regular crowns. If I were you I would def. find out how much they are going to cost before you have all of your perm. maxillary teeth removed. You may have what is called an overdenture placed on top of your implants. You need to give more information, like how many implants are you going to have placed? Will you have individual crowns placed, or an over denture?
Reply:hi, if they %26#039;ll remove all your upper teeth , 4 implants or mini


implants ,then overdenture


the impants each around 2- 3000$


the overdenture around 1500$


good luck

Reply:My experience has been, it is exactly the same. I was just invoiced $ 2, 400.00, for two teeth, or two crowns. Once the implants are in, the procedure is essentially the same as any other crown.

Will I have to get 4 permanent teeth and a palatal expander too?

Should I have to get a rpe and 4 adult teeth pulled just so there is enough room for my canine teeth to come down since i have a small mouth.Also will the rpe hurt alot or a lilttle when i turn it every night.

Will I have to get 4 permanent teeth and a palatal expander too?
I have gone through that process of expanding my upper jaw. I will not lie, IT SUCKS. Sometimes it feels really annoying and it is hard to sleep, but I got through it and it really helped with expanding my upper jaw. I just felt pressure on my nose when I did it. Also, do it at night so you won%26#039;t notice the pressure throughout the day. You will be glad you did it later on in life when you have a perfect smile. Good luck!

Without seeing x-rays of your baby tooth or the rest of your teeth, we can%26#039;t say. Sometimes they do and sometimes they don%26#039;t.
Reply:First of all , stop making all these damned questions. 2nd, if they do pulling a tooth is very simple. All they do is put the tiniest needle in the world(you cant feel it cause they put it in the way back)and your gums are numb. Then they just sway to the left and right with pliers and it doesnt hurt or anything. After that they put cotton ball like things where it was at and stuff. It may hurt so you have to eat soft foods and DONT drink out of straws
Reply:Well it depends if its coming out soon...if its not, probably

How do dentists take off your permanent teeth?

my teeth is not straight and i am planning to get braces. i am wondering how dentists take off the teeth, since the teeth stick into your jaw so strong.





P.S. I know dentist will give u a shot b4 taking off the teeth so that u feel numb. however...do u really feel nothing? what does it feel like?

How do dentists take off your permanent teeth?
Teeth are pulled and it hurts like he ll!! I had to have four pulled about two years ago, worst pain I ever experienced. The dentist was pulling with all his strength, even braced his foot on the chair I was sitting in.
Reply:they dont remove your teeth when you get braces!
Reply:getting teeth pulled or having dental work does not hurt generally. the drs numb you up well.





Before getting braces you might want to call this office and see what they say:





There is an orthodontist in Oregon, Terry Dischinger (former portland trailblazer). Dischinger practices orthodontics with his son, Bill Dischinger, in Lake Oswego, Oregon. Dischinger is considered nationally as a leader in both functional jaw orthopedics and orthodontic technology and has lectured extensively throughout the United States. i have actually been to his office. he is famous for never pulling teeth to put on braces. he is sent cases from all over the world.





If you do have teeth pulled for any other reason, it is best to go to a biologic dentist so that you do not form a cavitation in your jaw.

Reply:By Pliers
Reply:dentists regularly have to remove permanent teeth prior to orthodontic treatment. this is to make space for the teeth to move and straighten. dental anaesthetic only eliminates pain, not feeling. for example: after the injection you will not feel pain, but you will feel the pressure of the tooth being moved in its socket. teeth are held in place my a periodontal membrane/ligament which acts as a shock absorber allowing the tooth to move a little if knocked for example. after a bit of easing by your dentist it will come out. follow your dentists instructions for after the extraction and you should get no pain. good luck!
Reply:This is an ultimate process to adjust the teeth at desired line/level.


Normally if size of if jaw is good enough to accommodate total teeth in straight line, they do not remove the permanent teeth.


But in case the jaw does not offer enough space to take all the 16 teeth in straight row, addtional space is crearted to get the protruding teeth inside.


It is very much a prctice and done at the chice of the patients.

My daughters permanent teeth are not coming in straight?

Its coming in on her gums under her tounge instead of straight up. We%26#039;re going to the dentist in the morning (I just noticed it today when I was pretending to look at her teeth like I look at my infants gums while making a funny noise, just to explain) but I%26#039;m just wondering what the dentist might do. I don%26#039;t want to go in totally clueless and I%26#039;d like to prepare my daughter if they have to do anything kind of scary.

My daughters permanent teeth are not coming in straight?
She may need braces when she is older. Or a retainer. Wait for all of her teeth to grow out before thinking about treatment for crooked teeth.





You can ask your dentist about what to do to help them grow in straight.
Reply:idk what dentist will do but here%26#039;s some advice: If you don%26#039;t like the dentist%26#039;s plan for her teeth, don%26#039;t just accept it. Go to a 2nd dentist.
Reply:she probably needs braces.





does she have them?
Reply:if shes very young, and it sounds like she is - he%26#039;ll probably do some x-rays to see the position of her remaining permanent teeth above the gum line to get an idea of where she%26#039;ll be in the next couple of years.





If it looks like braces will be in her future, he%26#039;ll let you know and probably tell you they%26#039;ll wait until most or all of her permanent teeth are in - like around 11-13yo. Thats when I got braces, thats when most kids get them. There isn%26#039;t much you can do till then.
Reply:Make sure you have a dentist that believes in preventative care. Some will say wait til all the teeth come in, others will use retainers and so on to attempt to straighten the teeth as they come in. This could be cheaper and easier for you both in the long run.
Reply:First of all, don%26#039;t frighten her right off. Braces are a pretty common treatment. Don%26#039;t go crazy worrying her and you. Second...they can do fantastic dental work these days and the bigger picture is the health of her teeth and the smile of her future. Relax, Mom...it will be ok.
Reply:If all of her baby teeth are out of the way, the orthodontist will probably just put on mini-braces. That%26#039;s what they do when little kids need braces before adolescence. It only hurts after they change the wire, usually for 2-3 days, but ice cream helps a lot.





On the first appt., they will x-ray and talk about possible treatment options. They won%26#039;t do anything else until later appointments.

Reply:I wouldn%26#039;t worry about it until all the permanent teeth come in. Sometimes they grow in crooked but when they are all there they push against each other and straighten out. Though she may need braces when she is older, it%26#039;s nothing to be concerned about now. Just keep them healty with regular brushing and talk to your dentist about it if you%26#039;re worried. He won%26#039;t do anything scary to her without talking to you first!
Reply:shell need braces when shes older, and itll straighten out as more teeth come in
Reply:Our daughter%26#039;s permanent teeth were not coming in straight either, and so we went to her pediatric dentist/orthodontist and she has actually already had braces and now has a permanent retainer in for the next few years- she is not 10 yet! It was like a miracle, how quickly her teeth moved and what they told me was many dentists like to wait until all permanent teeth are in before doing anything- sort of like fixing the problem after it occurs. But our dentist goes the other route which is preventitive dentistry. A child%26#039;s jaw is still very soft at your daughter%26#039;s age and they can do wonderful things with retainers and braces at a younger age now! I too was very reluctant and not well-educated on the subject before we decided to go ahead. But I researched it on the internet and found it to be a good thing and our dentist knew what he was talking about! They call it Phase 1 and Phase 2 pediatric dentistry if you want to check it out on the internet. And as far as it hurting, I am sure all children are different. Our child did not have to have any teeth pulled or anything and the only complaint she had was at 1st with the first wire they put in, her tongue kept hitting it. Just research it and definitely go to a pediatric dentist!
Reply:get braces.
Reply:yes that%26#039;s possible...............but don%26#039;t worry when she start growing her teeth will be in right place......the only reason permanent teeth grow that way cz its obvious that teeth are way bigger than their baby teeth......but like i mention if she grow older and her gum start to stretch that teeth will be in the right place.
Reply:she may need braces when she gets older
Reply:Most people have some tooth that didn%26#039;t come up right so first of all don%26#039;t sweat it. She most likely is about 30-40 pounds so just think she has a lot of growing to do,her mouth included, until she has room for all of them some may be in the wrong spot. The Dr. may want to pull one of her other 3 front bottom teeth if the other ones are coming in under them, my 7y/o just had one pulled and one baby tooth filled because he didn%26#039;t want her to loose it yet. I guess if it were out the other one would grow in crooked. Also if you don%26#039;t have insurance for braces start saving, most people today have some kind of Orthodontics. Best of luck, B.
Reply:Braces. Just wait. Until ALL her teeth come in. Then get braces.
Reply:that happenend to me to it probabbly just means that her gums dont have enough space for ur teeth to grow in straight that might sugest u go to the orthodontist and get an expander tis just metal wiring stuck to the roof of your mouth and it somehow gives ur mouth space for ur teeth to come in

I'm getting some permanent teeth taken out along w/wisdom teeth. is it going to change my face shape at all?

Permanent teeth replacement for a 14 yr old?

i really need help. i was diagnosed with dentinogenesis imperfecta and i have acid reflux which really sucks. i need to know what your thought and experinces are with teeth replacement (all of %26#039;em)...

Permanent teeth replacement for a 14 yr old?
i hav 13 cavities
Reply:Man, that is a tough one! First thing I should say is that the type of treatment that is decided on should be a very informed one between you, your parents and your dentist and a MD because of the gastric reflux.


I am not sure of the success rate with replacing all of your teeth at this age, (like with implants) because you are probably still growing. Crowning all of the teeth is a possibility. Fillings are generally not a good choice and certainly not a permanent fix.


Dentinogenesis imperfecta is usually an inherited problem.


I wish I could give you an easy answer, but there are a lot of factors to look at and none make for a simple answer. Hopefully it will help to know that when your doctor says that there are a lot of extenuating circumstances, you will know they are not BS%26#039;ing you.Good luck to you!

Wiggly permanent teeth...help!!!?

I used to have braces, and since have lost my retainer that i was supposed to use afterwards. I continue using the little bands that i was supposed to use with the retainer because it keeps my gap from returning...but is all this shifting bad for my teeth? I noticed this morning that I can move my teeth with my fingers...Is this normal? are the bands hurting my teeth? HELP!

Wiggly permanent teeth...help!!!?
That can%26#039;t be good! Get to the orthodontist, STAT!!
Reply:When you have ortho treatment, it%26#039;s actually moving your teeth position. What you experiencing may be the moving part. DO NOT wriggle your tooth anymore with your finger, it will only get it more loose! When a tooth moves, the bones need sometime to %26#039;grow%26#039; again to hold the tooth. See your dentist if you can. Meanwhile keep your gums really clean, you can rinse with warm salt water.
Reply:you should first see your hygienist and let her make sure the bone around your teeth is where it should be.





then go back to your orthodontist if a new retainer is needed. your teeth may be reverting to their original position or trying to- this can happen if you don%26#039;t wear your retainer for a few years afterwards.





yes, the shifting back and forth back and forth is not all that great for your bone so you need to get everything stabilized quickly

Permanent teeth (all of 'em) replacement at 14 years old?!?

i%26#039;m 14 years old but i have been diagnosed with dentinogenesis imperfecta. this means that the enamel on my teeth is extremely weak and my teeth decay extremely quickly, reguardless of how much i take care of them. even worse, i also have acid relfux disease, where my stomach does not produce enough stomach acid and i uncontrollably regurgitate food. this causes acidic food to come into my mouth and decay my teeth further. I have seen on TV shows that there is a type of teeth replacement where metal %26quot;screws%26quot; are screwed into your jaw bone and fake teeth are attached permanently. i have already had two (2) root canals and i have one crown. is it worth it. I know that inevitably, i will have fake teeth by the time i am 25. any information will help... and I dont need a pity party, i get enough of that from my mom!

Permanent teeth (all of %26#039;em) replacement at 14 years old?!?
The fake teeth that are implanted won%26#039;t stay put for a long time and they will work loose. And, since you have acid refux, these teeth might cause you more problems than their really worth.





The best advise I can give you is to get regular plates. They look just as good as regular teeth, plus their no where as expensive as the implanted teeth. The last I heard, implanted teeth like you want usually run anywhere from $500 to a $1000, each tooth. A good set of plates can run anywhere from around $800 to maybe $2000 depending on the quality of the material.





Another advantage to plates is that you can take them out every night and clean them. Since you are 14, every few years or so, since your growing, you%26#039;ll need to get them relined which is really no big deal.





I%26#039;ve been wearing plates for years now and to be perfectly honest, I don%26#039;t miss my real ones at all. Actually, I can eat just about anything I want, cold or hot, except nuts which I do love. I%26#039;ve had false teeth since I was around my mid 30s and I am 58 now. I have also never worn my lower plate, but my top plate is rock solid since I modified them myself with a file and sandpaper. Believe me, I love my Steak:))
Reply:Yes, there are many types of replacements for your teeth. The one you are talking about involves them removing your teeth. They will then let the bone and gum tissues heal and implant posts. These posts have holes in them which allow the fake teeth or dentures a place to sit as they are inserted into the holes. This replace the need to use denture creams and having a suction plate which can be quite gagging. This alternative is also extremely expensive which I wouldn%26#039;t recommend unless your parents both have dental plans at their work. I just had all my teeth removed in December and I am still healing, but I have the plated dentures which i have not been able to use yet because of my strong gag reflex. I have to go back to the dentist and have him cut out a section of the upper suction plate which is causing me to gag. FYI I am only 35 years old...not much difference between 25. Hope this helps.
Reply:What about porcelain veneers? While you still have teeth left they can shave them down and put the veneers on top of them. They%26#039;re permanent and will feel just like your natural, God-given teeth. It can be quite pricey but much more comfortable than dentures! My mom%26#039;s best friend had them done and she looks like she has a Hollywood-smile!

Seriously, why? I respect your desires, but this could seriously affect the way people treat you and how successful you are in life. Way fewer job opportunities would present themselves to you, and people would probably not think as highly of you. You say you %26quot;wouldn%26#039;t care%26quot; about all this, but you should, because jobs and relationships with other people should be taken seriously, not as a joke. Who knows? Maybe in ten years you will regret your decision and the whole situation would have been a waste of time and money.

Her teeth grew into the %26#039;classic%26#039; vampire shape and her insurance wouldn%26#039;t cover the dental costs to make them look normal as there was a clause in the contract expressly forbidding the %26quot;living dead and similarly afflicted persons%26quot; from claiming dental work.





Since then, she has to make a living at kids birthday parties dressed as Dracula%26#039;s wife. She has to be really careful, especially since she ate one of the parents recently.
Reply:Getting these as implants or veneers will cost nearly 600-1000 for the pair.
Reply:Insurance doesn%26#039;t cover vampire teeth. They only pay for dental expensives such as Cleaning, Breaking, or other serious things you need done. They do not cover getting things that look cool. You could eat sandwichs but not corn on the cob. I have fake front teeth and I can%26#039;t eat it. I have the best insurance possible because my dad works at a huge insurance company. And they didn%26#039;t cover my fake teeth so think it over and you%26#039;ll see they aren%26#039;t gonna pay for your vampire teeth. Your gonna have to.

Getting a permanent (3 teeth) upper front bridge and crowns?

After two years of wearing a partial front upper, with a metal roof, I am soo happy to be able to throw this thing out very soon.. On this Thursday, (I had an impression made almost two weeks ago), I will go and get my fixed/permanent bridge? Or will it be one that is just a temporary?


Also, I will be getting several crowns up top, to make it all look nice, but THAT is what I am scared of... they sand down your own teeth to almost nothing, I am told, and then put the crown/cap over it.. Anyone have any of this done? How was it? Dentist says it will take three visits. On Thursday, he says I will be there about two hours. Any comments or advice would be greatly appeciated!

Getting a permanent (3 teeth) upper front bridge and crowns?
It sounds like you will be getting temporaries on Thursday, not the permanent bridge. in order for a bridge to have been made the teeth on each side of the bridge would of had to be prepped (sanded down). they don%26#039;t sand them down to almost nothing its only enough to make room for the porc. crown. Most of the time it can be done in 2 or 3 visits. In your case since your dentist already took some impressions maybe he is making a wax work up. the lab will take the impressions create the bridge and crowns in wax so you can see what the will look like before the work is done then they will use that model to create your temporary from.usually you will be in temps. for about 3 weeks Just remember if you don%26#039;t like the shape of shade don%26#039;t have it cemented you have waited long enough and it should be perfect labs are used to making changes @ no additional charge to you
Reply:I am very happy for you. getting to see the before and after for me as an asst. is sooo exciting. enjoy your new smile!!! Report It

Reply:Thanks! I am so happy I did it..If anyone out there, is wearing a partial..oh, please, be brave and get rid of that thing if you can! My partial was fine,(three teeth in the front),but nothing is better than this! Report It

Reply:I work in a dental office. I have a crown also. Your teeth have to be prepped(filed down some) so that your natural teeth can retain the bridge. You will probably get a temp. first because your impressions are sent to the Dental Lab so that your permanent can be fabricated. It is way better aesthetically than the denture you had. You will love your new smile. That is a wonderful procedure to have done. Enjoy your new smile!!!:)
Reply:It sounds like you have the %26quot;prep%26quot; visit coming up. You will leave with a tempoary bridge and in a couple or few weeks, you will have the real thing.

Permanent fake teeth question?

Is there a disadvantage to having permanent fake (porcelain?) teeth? I have a few really messed up teeth and the cost for getting a fake tooth put in (the kind that are attached to your jaw, instead of the kind that are removable) is about $1000 or so. The total cost for a root canal and crown is $1000-$1200.

Permanent fake teeth question?
The permanently affixed teeth (like an implant) are the way to go because the implant preserves the bone. A partial denture, bridge (bascally all removable with the exception of implant supported dentures) will allow the bone to deteriorate. Implants are slightly more expensive, but definitely worth the money!
Reply:How much are you willing to spend my friend! That%26#039;s your next resolve! sounds like you%26#039;ve done a little homework. But there really is not a disadvantage to have porcelain teeth. Veneers, are very popular, less $ also. Or there is the world of partials.
Reply:The only disadvantage I can think of is that porcelain is stronger than enamel, and it will slowly wear your opposing teeth down. Don%26#039;t worry about that though as it is quite minimal. No damage to the gums will occur or the bones cause you will still have the tooth remaining. If it is an anterior (front tooth) I would ask for an all ceramic crown, so their is no metal showing. If it%26#039;s a posterior (back tooth) it won%26#039;t matter so much. The filling for the root will be gold though.
Reply:Get the extractions done for those of your teeth that are nearly gone case. The amount you are going to pay for root canal and crown, nearly in the same expense you can get the latest immediate load implants in countries like Thailand, Dubai, India, Singapore. Google search like dental implant tours in india, etc. This way you have more options. Good Luck.

What is the difference of crown to root ratio between deciduous and permanent teeth?

How would you say that a tooth is deciduous or permanent solely based on the crown to root ratio

What is the difference of crown to root ratio between deciduous and permanent teeth?
On an adult tooth the crown root ratio is 2 to 1. The root under the gum should be twice as long as the crown portion above the gum line. This is not an issue with a deciduous tooth in most cases for many reasons, a few are: root resportion - the root slowly dissolves when the adult tooth starts to push up against it. Most dentists don%26#039;t crown a deciduous tooth and if they do it is usually a stainless steel pre-formed crown because the deciduous tooth is not meant to be maintained as an adult tooth. Also the roots of a deciduous tooth, posterior, are splayed and other adjacent teeth can also resorb the tooth roots as well.


Hope that helps

Will permanent teeth arise normally after a pulpectomy?

My daughter needs a pulpectomy, but someone told me that the permanent tooth cant grow after the procedure.

Will permanent teeth arise normally after a pulpectomy?
A pulpectomy only removes infected nerve tissue from a primary tooth. It does not affect the underlying permanent tooth. If anything it can help because it allows the child to keep that tooth until it is time to lose it, thus holding space for the eruption of the permanent tooth. If a primary tooth is lost early, it can cause crowding of the permanent teeth. So think of a pulpectomy as a way to get your child out of pain now, and protect her teeth in the future.
Reply:That is totally false. A pulpotomy is a procedure performed on a baby tooth to preserve the space until the permanent tooth comes in.

Is it unusal to wait over a year for your permanent teeth after dental implant surgyer?

A friend had dental surgery done and had his remaining teeth pulled. He had to have a bone graft. This was last February. In July, one implant was found not to have taken. Another implant was done. The uncovered the last one in December. He is still waiting to get his permanent teeth for his implant screws. He has 4 implant screws on the bottom. A whole year seems long.

Is it unusal to wait over a year for your permanent teeth after dental implant surgyer?
It seems in his case no. It all depends on how well his bone heals. The fact that one implant didnt take shows that he has healing problems. Best to take it easy.

My 11 yr old daughter is short 10-12 of her permanent teeth. can this be a genetic disorder?

at her orthodontist appt. yesterday, the dentist asked me if she had ever been genetically tested, due to her severe shortage of permanent teeth to replace the baby teeth she has now. she added that such a severe shortage of permanent teeth can be a symtom of several genetic disorders. has anyone heard of any situation like this before? i am out of my element and at a loss, and helpless....and worried for my daughter.

Always get a second opinion...it%26#039;s worth it, I%26#039;d have so many fillings I didn%26#039;t need, un necessary surgery and teeth pulled if it weren%26#039;t for second opinions. I hate to say it but quackery abounds in the dental profession (as in any where you put a lot of trust).

Now she%26#039;s embarrassed to go anywhere cause she has her teeth missing. So I really want to help by saving some money so we can get the procedure done. She doesn%26#039;t have dental insurance but I really want to look into getting some for her so maybe that can help with the cost. Do you think it will? Also, she wants 3 permanent teeth not dentures so if you can, please give me some advice. Or at least a website where I can go to look up some information because I don%26#039;t even have a dentist.

How much does it cost to get 3 permanent teeth from the dentist?
it really depends on the area where ya%26#039;ll live. implants can range to - $3400* each, a bridge can be 2500. your best bet would be to have her consult a dentist. someone mentioned in another post to another question -- try the local university that has a dental program - they might be able to help her while she%26#039;s helping them!!





top periodontist in jacksonville florida (i have some dental issues so a special specialist is needed)


$595 for extraction %26amp; bone graft


$1866 for the implant (titanium screw!!)


$1000 for the crown
Reply:It depends on the teeth that need to be replaced. She should check with her auto insurance, they may help pay for the costs since it was related to an accident.





You need to find a dentist. I had to get an estimate for a filling for my daughter. I needed the tooth number, type of cavity and what type of filling before I could get an estimate.





In our case, we needed to get it done and her normal dentist couldn%26#039;t see her for months.
Reply:These %26#039;permanent%26#039; teeth you are talking about are called dental implants. You should go and see an oral surgeon about the implants. They run about $2500-4000 per tooth, without the crown (which a general dentist will fabricate) which can run between $500-800 depending on where you live. It is tough without dental insurance. I don%26#039;t know what your circumstances are, but in some cases of auto accidents, the other driver%26#039;s insurance (if there was someone else involved) will pay for medical expenses AND if she gets a settlement of some kind, this could help replace her teeth. I hope this helps, it sounds like a horrible situation. She could always have a partial denture fabricated in the mean time until she either saves for the implants or saves money for them. Good luck
Reply:you didn%26#039;t say where do you live. but in my country (Iran) dental implants with crown are done about 1000$ per teeth .you can come hear .it will be much more cheaper even with travel costs than some countries.


i suggest you to think off something as ASAP because remaining bone are the most important criteria for implants.


and the bone will resorb in time.

How much does it hurt to have permanent teeth removed??

I have to have between 2-4 permanent teeth removed, and I%26#039;ve been putting it off for years! I just can%26#039;t stand the thought of all the pulling and pushing and cutting and the pain! I don%26#039;t know what to do! Can someone give me an honest answer about how it feels to have permanent teeth removed???

How much does it hurt to have permanent teeth removed??
You do know that they will give you something, right? If it really worries you that much, have the dentist put you to sleep. Then you won%26#039;t know that they are cutting, pulling, sewing in your mouth. When you wake up, it will be all over. Sure you%26#039;ll be sore...but they%26#039;ll give you good drugs for the pain.
Reply:I had two removed from he very back and its not that bad. They numb you up so you really don%26#039;t feel much. After you might be sore so they will prescribe you some painkillers.
Reply:I was asleep when they pulled my wisdom teeth, so I didn%26#039;t feel anything til night time when there was massive pain
Reply:you won%26#039;t feel a thing at the dentist he will give you lots of local anesthezia it it%26#039;s your wisdom teeth it may be impacted and that takes longer time and also it%26#039;s so weird to hear your teeth crack while it%26#039;s being pulling out! It%26#039;s usually sore few days after 2 to 3 days, Advil and Ibuprofen can take care of that! it sound way horrible and scary then it%26#039;s usually it%26#039;s! As a i said go to the good dentist and you won%26#039;t feel a thing
Reply:I am just like you, but recently I had to have a tooth pulled and I couldn%26#039;t believe how much dental procedures have changed over the years. It was over before I knew it. Now of course, make sure you get a good Dentist. Ask your friends and family for a referral.

Reply:i had 2 wisdom teeth pulled today.i did not feel a thing...i means nothing and it went within seconds.(i was numb of course).


From friends and family(of course i called everybody before and ask there experience)and they said that if its infected that it will hurt more after.


I was soooo scared because everybody told be so much pain swelling etc.


and i`m sitting here and i feel so lucky that everything turned out good.


especially my one friend told me a story ..........i got nightmares from her story.


i hope with my story i can take some fear away from you.


Just remeber to listen to the instructions what your dentist will give you.


the first day just lay in your bed (can not do nothing wrong with that).


cool it cool it and cool it it will be ok!!!
Reply:It depends where you go. If you have good insurance or can afford a private dentist then it won%26#039;t hurt at all. I had 4 teeth removed before I got braces when I was 11 and I was unconscious. I woke up with a mouth full of blood and gauze but NO pain.





Since then, I haven%26#039;t had insurance and I had to have 2 pulled at a dental school (Beth Israel Hospital in NYC). I was conscious and they are not allowed to supply nitrous, only novocaine. It didn%26#039;t hurt as much as I thought it would but it was pretty stressful and awkward. When you%26#039;re conscious it%26#039;s only scary because you%26#039;re afraid they are going to slip and hurt you somehow. The dental students were unable to remove the tooth because the roots were too big. They called over a %26#039;real%26#039; dentist and he broke the tooth in half while trying to pull it out. I never actually felt any physical pain, only pressure and stress. I guess that%26#039;s what you get for $90.

How can you tell if you have baby or permanent teeth?

how can you tell if you have baby or permanent teeth in your mouth without going to a dentist ?





at what age does permanent teeth stops growing ?

How can you tell if you have baby or permanent teeth?
u should loose all your baby teeth at about 15 or 16 but everyones different
Reply:You should cut your last molars in the back of your mouth at around 12 years old. Your adult teeth start cutting when you are about 5 and finish between 12-13 except for your wisdom teeth.





Few people have room in their mouth for their wisdom teeth which cut in the very back of the jaw close to the jaw bone. Those teeth may never cut through and can cause a great deal of pain as they take growth spurts throughout your young adulthood. If they cannot come through because there is not enough space, the gum will swell, you will get a headache, sore throat on that side of the mouth and you would just wish they would go away.





When you get good and tired of the pain about every 6 months when they take a notion to try and push through, you will probably be in your early 30s and will decide to go to an oral surgeon and have them pulled out.





They can also force your other teeth to become crooked so you may want them pulled before your 30s.





Except for your wisdom teeth, all your teeth should be done growing by the time you are 18-21 years old. Until then you will have gaps and spaces you wish would just go away. Generally they will.





I am an RN
Reply:generally the size of the tooth.





Your wisdom teeth dont stop growing till your around 25

Sometimes when you permanent teeth come in...?

Sometimes when you permanent teeth come in, they have white stains on them. Do veneers hide these stains? How much does it usually cost to get veneers on? Do you need to replace veneers? Do they need to be checked regularly?

Sometimes when you permanent teeth come in...?
Sorry, but that first answer about veneers was silly. Veneers and lumineers are like false fingernails put on the teeth. Lumineers are just glued on, veneers require a bit of enamel reduction to put them on. But I don%26#039;t think you will have the need to go to drastic measures. And yes, you need to be careful with veneers. They can chip and you can get decay under them.





Your real question is about white stains on the teeth. Are they like white freckles in the enamel? If so, this is called hypo-calcification, or uneven calcification of the enamel. Sometimes, if it is minor, and after all the teeth erupt, you can have the color improved through a dual process of enamel microabrasion and bleaching.





Enamel microabrasion involved the dentist using a very abrasive polishing paste and removing the surface layer of enamel which contains the white spots and getting down to an even color. Then the teeth are bleached so that they are all even in color.





I think that%26#039;s what you really want to know is if your tooth color can be fixed. Another thing to consider, you don%26#039;t want to do any of these treatments until after you have braces, if you are going to need them.
Reply:veneers are expensive, and are pretty much like a substance that is painted over your teeth, making the color even, and making them stronger. That is all I really know about them.

My child's milk/baby teeth are still complete and I noticed that two permanent teeth are beginning to rise

My child%26#039;s milk/baby teeth are still complete and healthy but suddendly I noticed that two permanent teeth are beginning to rise at the back of her baby/milk teeth.... will de dentis pull them out? i mean the baby/milk teeth? does she needs braces to correct the permanent teeth? is the braces for kids painfull?





please advice.. thanks a lot in advance

My child%26#039;s milk/baby teeth are still complete and I noticed that two permanent teeth are beginning to rise
This happened with my little girl when she was 5. I called the dentist and he told me to pull out the baby teeth with a tweezers! I swear. He said they were probably very loose anyway since the permanent ones were coming in behind them. These were her two front lowers and I pulled them out and everything was fine. She sucked her thumb till she was 6 and had to have braces on her uppers, though. If you%26#039;re afraid to pull them or you can%26#039;t without hurting her, I suggest a dentist, for sure.

What care to be taken for permanent teeth of a child, whose milk teeth are weak ?

my son%26#039;s milk teeth got cavities at an early age. Now his permanent teeth have started to come up. They are very fine. Since i have dental problems, how can i save his teeth from not getting those problems? I have heard of flouride treatment, is it safe ? please help me.

What care to be taken for permanent teeth of a child, whose milk teeth are weak ?
Cavities occur from incorrect diet and/or incorrect hygiene.


Baby teeth don%26#039;t come thru weak.


DIET: Sweet drinks are the most usual cause nowadays. Mostly juices, cordials and soft drinks. Keep your child to plain water as much as possible. Diet cordial is a reasonable alternative, but this is still developing a taste for flavoured drinks. Lollies are of course still a problem too. A consultation with a dietitian can be very helpful in identifying sugary foods/drinks.


HYGIENE: Kids cannot be expected to clean their teeth properly until about the age of 8. They don%26#039;t have the understanding or dexterity. An adult should do a proper job 2x daily.


Fluoride applications to the new adult back teeth is very helpful, but is only of use if also following a good diet and hygiene. It is absolutely safe. Your child should also be using an adult fluoride toothpaste too.


If you establish good diet and hygiene habits at an early stage, then he will not get more cavities. Tooth decay is totally preventable.


Please ignore the above participant, Natural Healer. %26quot;Liquid minerals%26quot; will do nothing to help. The answer displays a lack of knowledge about how teeth are formed, or about their anatomy, and about what influences their strength.
Reply:Fluoride is usually not recommended for children, if you ingest it you can get fluoride poisoning. Minerals are the best way to go! a liquid mineral will help your son grow strong and healthy and keep his teeth strong. Minerals will even whiten your teeth from the inside! email me for a link to the best absorbed liquid minerals you can slip into juice or food (they don%26#039;t taste bad at all). The supplements are inexpensive, easy to take and have no negative side effects. Plus most importantly, they are safe for children!





email me for more info, Id love to help!
Reply:Diet, diet, diet. What a child eats and learns to like to eat is the most important factor in keeping healthy teeth.
Reply:As Dr Sam suggests, diet is extremely important. Also brushing twice daily as well.
Reply:Use a Non-Fluoride toothpaste.





Dental Fluorosis is a real problem mainly due to %26#039;Adult supervision%26#039;.





I was always advised to use a fluoride toothpaste so I did. Last year, I changed to a non fluoride paste and within three weeks, all the plaque inside my teeth had %26#039;gone%26#039;!





My last visit to the dentists was the first time in thirty years where I have NOT had any treatment!

Is it abnormal that the permanent teeth do not erupt 5 months after primary teeth fell off?

My 7 year old son lost his two front primary teeth 5 month ago in May, but up to now (Oct. 10) there is still no sign that his permanent teeth will erupt. I started to worry. Is this abnormal? Does any have similar experiences? Thanks in advance.

Is it abnormal that the permanent teeth do not erupt 5 months after primary teeth fell off?
What you are describing is one of the reasons why the American Association of Orthodontists recommends an evaluation by an orthodontist by age 7. It is likely that the teeth are just a little slow to erupt. But it is also possible that something may be hindering their eruption.





Sometimes a panoramic x-ray will be taken to evaluate the position of the teeth, other times just waiting will be recommended. If the teeth are being hindered in their eruption, the correction will depend on what the cause is. Sometimes extracting other baby teeth will solve the problem, and other times braces may be recommended if the teeth are impacted and will not self erupt.





Most orthodontists in the U.S. do not charge for their initial exam, so I would recommend that you take your son to see an orthodontist soon.
Reply:Could be a sign that they are growing crooked or may need to be assisted by a Dentist. I would definitely take him to a dentist. My friend%26#039;s son had this problem and they had to cut him gum line to let them come in. It wasn%26#039;t too bad on him at all!
Reply:simple test :


press with your finger on the extracted site from labial side , if the gum whiten with the shape of the coming teeth its ok


if not your dentidst will do x ray

Help Dr. Sam!!! Will the permanent teeth grow?

I have about 2 baby molars left, but not the wisdom teeth, and my dentist said that If I take them out, there MAY be a chance that the permanent teeth won%26#039;t grow out.....what if I don%26#039;t take them out and just elave them there? What if I take them out? ALso, he said that since I%26#039;m 13, all my permanent teeth should ahve grown out by now, so that%26#039;s why he thinks they might not grow out.

Help Dr. Sam!!! Will the permanent teeth grow?
The only way to answer this question is to see an x-ray and it would be preferable to have a panoramic x-ray. If your dentist does not have this kind of equipment, ask if he can send you to an oral surgeon or orthodontist just to get the x-ray taken. If he says he won%26#039;t send you, just go yourself!





Check this out to see why I suggest a panoramic x-ray:





http://members.aol.com/swf08302/panvsfmx...





The yellow outline show you the approximate area that would be covered by a really good full mouth series. Everything outside the yellow border would only show up in a panoramic x-ray. The FMX may be a bit sharper, but it is quite limited in diagnostic scope compared to a panoramic x-ray. This is an actual x-ray from my office and it%26#039;s typical of my panoramic films.





Pros: Much broader area covered


Cons: Possible loss of detail, although I am quite happy with my films
Reply:Get the panoramic x-ray and good luck. If you fidn you have no permanent teeth there, come back and ask a question about what to do. Report It

At what age do puppies develop permanent teeth?

My 5 1/2 months old puppy just broke or lost one lower incisor tooth (sharp pointed teeth). She isn%26#039;t in pain, just playing and chewing her toys as she does normally. I am just hoping this wasn%26#039;t a permanent teeth she lost? Can anyone advise at what age do puppies develop permanent teeth?

Sounds like a milk tooth she lost. She should be getting in all her adult teeh in very soon. They loose all their teeth including the molars. They get all their adult teeth by 8 months of age.

Reply:they start loosing their baby teeth at a bout 4 months of age
Reply:Nope. She%26#039;s at the right age to lost her baby {or puppy} teeth. They will grow back in soon. My little Lexi had all hers by 8 or 9 months old. Relax, she%26#039;s fine!

Do your permanent teeth have to be fully grown in to get braces?

I really want braces but I have heard that your permanent teeth need to be fully grown in. Yes, I have lost all of my baby teeth, but they are not fullly grown back in yet. I lost them about 4 years ago and they are still not in..is that a problem also?

Do your permanent teeth have to be fully grown in to get braces?
Braces can be worn at any age! The American Association of Orthodontists suggests that children be looked at as early as age 7 to detect and intercept developing tooth problems. Most kids start wearing braces between age 11 and 13, which coincides with the time that most baby teeth are lost, and most permanent teeth are fully grown in place.
Reply:no its not a problem i have braces and im 12
Reply:When I wanted braces, I thought two of my teeth weren%26#039;t grown in all the way. I went to the dentist and they said that they weren%26#039;t going to come down all the way. This might be your case. They had to pull them down with braces. You probably should just go see an orthodontist and see what he has to say.
Reply:Yeah, your pernament teeth do need to be fully grown before getting braces, because when your teeth aren%26#039;t fully grown in your mouth, they still have a lot of movement and are still pushing there way through. If braces are put on then, it would be really painful and the braces wouldn%26#039;t really work.


What do you mean by not fully in, as in half way there?


If that, and after 4 years, i think that would be a problem because i read somewhere that if they aren%26#039;t in, its either they have stopped or are not strong enough to push through, so i would seriously get that checked out.
Reply:NO

On non permanent teeth?

my daughter has crooked bottom teeth...they are not permanent and are still baby teeth...im going to take her to a dentist but is there any reason why they are crooked? could it be from pressure or biting too hard?

On non permanent teeth?
if the baby teeth grow crooked then its likely the adult teeth will too so she may need braces.





other things could cause it too like you said from grinding her teeth at night or sucking thumbs and things like that.

Permanent teeth question?

ok, so, i have this orthodontist that told me i have to pull out 4-5 permanent teeth. to get a %26quot;perfect%26quot; bite. will this hurt, and what will they be doing to me to pull it out?

Permanent teeth question?
they are probably going to extract four of your bicuspids because there isn%26#039;t enough room in your mouth for everything. extractions are no fun, when they are injecting the anesthetic it usually doesn%26#039;t hurt but it seems like they are going to shove the needle all the way through the top of your head. it will ache quite a bit for the first few days, and the constant blood taste in your mouth is awful. google %26quot;tooth extraction process%26quot; if you are really sure you want to know more. and always, get a second opinion because different orthodontists sometimes have different ways of doing things
Reply:Chris-----they numb the gums well with Novocaine so it doesn%26#039;t really hurt.------they inject the gums with a tiny needle that stings just a little but isn%26#039;t too bad.---all you feel is pressure----doesn%26#039;t hurt.
Reply:if they are pulling all four out at once ask to be put under it will be less scary . if they choose to put a needle in the roof of your mouth to numb you don%26#039;t do it it hurts like hell literaly like its going right threw your head . to get teeth pulled you will feel pressure no pain. if you have an abcess then it will be painful goodluck
Reply:At least 60% of the population walks around with no orthodontics, and presumably %26quot;imperfect%26quot; bites.





The great majority of the time, orthodontists want the premolars out. They lack the chewing power of molars and the cutting ability of canines and incisors. To the orthodontist, they take up valuable space on often overcrowded jaws.





The remove these teeth, you do have to extract them. You have three major options:





1) NO SEDATION - you get a couple of shots. Yes, the first few seconds sting a bit. But trust me, you want to be numb. You will then feel lots of pushing, pulling and pressure. Occassionally you%26#039;ll hear scary noises. But it%26#039;s over before you know it, and it%26#039;s the cheapest way.





2) CONSCIOUS SEDATION - you take a pill, laughing gas, or an IV. These make you less aware of, or indifferent to, unpleasant experiences. You still get shots, but they almost never hurt under sedation. You will likely have difficulty remembering anything unpleasant. Usually costs more, sometimes as much as the extractions themselves.





3) GENERAL ANESTHESIA - very rarely done because of cost. You are completely out. No shots are necessary, but are sometimes given at the end of the procedure so that you won%26#039;t wake up in pain.








I hope your extractions go well for you. Any questions, contact me at my website.
Reply:Most dentists that I know of try to save every tooth they can and leave extractions as a necessary last resort.





If you have a specific problem that would warrant the removal of 4-5 healthy teeth, an independent second opinion should confirm this.





Get another opinion before acting.
Reply:CHRIS,


YOU WILL EITHER HAVE ANESTHETIC TO NUMB ALL THE TEETH BEFORE THEY ARE PULLED OR BE GIVEN AN IV TO BE PUT TO SLEEP AT THE ORAL SURGEON%26#039;S OFFICE. YOU WILL NOT FEEL PAIN WHEN YOUR TEETH ARE PULLED. IT%26#039;S NORMAL TO HAVE TEETH EXTRACTED IN MANY CASES FOR BRACES.
Reply:Do you have problems with the way your teeth/smile look?


Do you have problems chewing?


Do you have problems pronouncing certain letters?


Do you have problems cleaning certain areas in your mouth?


Do you have joint pain/clicking?


If your answers to the above is no, re-consider your decision to have Orthodontic treatment. A %26quot;perfect bite%26quot; is not a good enough reason to undergo such lengthy and costly treatment unless perfection is what you%26#039;re after.
