I have a two year old girl and I have noticed for some time now that her two front teeth are not growing properly...its weird becuase there is no gap, they come down straight but there is like a big crescent shape gap where the rest of her two big teeth should have grown down side by side. It looks like a chip taken out of the bottom her two front teeth but I know that nothing has happened...I mean I would know if she knocked some of her front teeth out. So, family dental history is okay, she drinks lots of milk, she brushes with her little brush/toothpaste once a day...so why would her teeth grow in like that and will this happen with her big teeth when they come in?
Any one experience something like this?
Weird teeth...?
Only an orthodontist can answer the questions and probably won%26#039;t even see her until she%26#039;s 7. Find a dentist that you can go to every 6 months starting now. You will get the questions ansered an it will teach her to go to the dentist as she grows up. My kids started at 3. The oldest, who%26#039;s 42 now goes every 4 months. It%26#039;s worth the cost because it prevents thousands in tooth problems for their future.It also keeps them from being angry at you for not teaching them to take care of their teeth properly.
Reply:Well, first off, she should brush at least twice a day, if not more. The best thing that you can do is take her to see a dentist. If you cant afford one or dont have any dental insurance, Most places have a program in place to care for children. There may be nothing wrong, but it would be the wise choice to get it checked out
Reply:nothing lik experience.... thoughts passing ur mind wen u wer pregnant reflect on ur child. well ... keeping all that aside ,might be iz just natural growth. better consult baby doctor ,n ask for natural ways...
All the best!!

Can a cavity in one tooth cause pain in other teeth?
I have toothache in my bottom left molar, 3 in front of the wisdom tooth but when I look at it in a mirror the tooth looks fine. Obviously, I%26#039;m not a dentist, so there might still be a cavity, but it looks ok.
Thing is, the tooth behind it has a TINY hole in it, on the top of the tooth in one of the pits - I thought there was something black stuck in it, but after brushing my teeth it was still there, and I got a pin and discovered it%26#039;s actually a small hole which is black in colour. I%26#039;m assuming this is a cavity in the tooth?
Could the cavity in this tooth be causing the toothache in the tooth in front of it? I also have pain in the molar 3 from the back on the top, could the pains all be linked to a cavity in a tooth that DOESN%26#039;T hurt?!!
I know I%26#039;m going to have to go to a dentist, but I%26#039;m not registered with one, and I need to find one who%26#039;ll treat me on the NHS - I can%26#039;t afford to go private.
Can a cavity in one tooth cause pain in other teeth?
I don%26#039;t know if a cavity in one tooth can cause pain in a different tooth.....I think it%26#039;s more likely that you have cavities in both teeth, sorry!
Reply:Yes, you can have deferred pain from a single tooth.
Please see a dentist soon. Teeth don%26#039;t stop decaying. Or like Neil Young says, %26quot;rust never sleeps%26quot;.
Reply:Definitely, the nerves from all your teeth are connected. I can%26#039;t stress to you enough, go to a dentist. Most will give you a free consultation.
Reply:dental pain does not cause only by cavity.
there are possible causes rather than cavity
Reply:If you can see a cavity then the trouble is beyond your scope. You need to see a dentist and very soon. There are nerves that travel through your gum-line and from tooth to tooth, if one tooth is infected the other may hurt. It is also important to note that you may have an abscess which could result in alot of pain and in the end a root canal. You need to get in ASAP, meanwhile look at this site to get more info and possible pictures that may better educate you.
Reply:yes it is called deffered pain.

Two different dentists have filed my teeth down, all my teeth are unaligned and my jaw is sore? how to fix?
here%26#039;s the whole story:
i chipped a bunch of my teeth one day.
the FIRST DENTIST i saw was terrible and filed the front of the bottom teeth so that my two BIG TOP TEETH wouldn%26#039;t come in contact at all with my bottom teeth. Then the second dentist filed the back of my molars in the very back as well.
so now my bite is extremely LOW.
it%26#039;s all uneven.
i feel like i do not have enough %26quot;teeth%26quot; on my teeth?
if that makes sense.
in lame-ans terms, the dentists filed my teeth all different ways, everything hurts, how do i go about having this repared?
can they add to m teeth just as easily that they have taken away?
will i ever have my old teeth back :(
it%26#039;s been almost 5 months.
i%26#039;m going insane.
i can%26#039;t focus in school.
my grades are terrible.
i am OBSESSED with my teeth,
and this incident happens.
i am going to a new dentist this monday.
what do i say to get my teeth fixed?

crowns is about the only way to fix this , BUT they will never be right
I had some ground off ,from one of them SOB%26#039;s
Reply:You could get vaneers or something like that in order to restore a smile that you%26#039;re happy with. They can be expensive, however.
Reply:I am not a professional, but maybe they can put some tooth colored bonding on the exposed dentin (might be causing some pain). Enamel once it is gone is sadly pretty gone. You might try tooth desensitizer, um, maybe a tooth guard at night (you might be grinding your teeth in your sleep)...
I slipped on ice over 14 years ago and chipped my front incisor. The dentist filed it down and FILLED it in. All for $300 dollars! He said it might darken down the road (die) and need more work, but (knock on wood) it has lived and done well.
Well best of wishes. I know tooth pain and am pretty painfree right now thanks to tooth desensitizer and a couple of gum grafts....
Cheers...

Bad Teeth and extremely painful gums with swelling?
Well this is kind of weird but I was born and never have had enamal on my teeth and they rot easy I have had almost every tooth capped filled or something to that effect and i%26#039;m only 20. I recently moved to texas and my job does not offer dental insurance i only make 5.50 an hour and cant afford to just go now ive got a tooth that is broke to the point you can see the root and is very painful and another tooth that doing the same and my front tooth has broke. Then to top it off now the area around the broken teeth is swollen and my entire face is swollen and it is extremely painful to the point of tears to eat smile or even talk. Any one have a clue where to go to get free or cheep dental work or a place to get insurance that is really cheep or for extremely low income? and what is causing the swelling so bad?
Bad Teeth and extremely painful gums with swelling?
Check with your city%26#039;s health dept to see if they offer free dental clinics, or check to see if there are any dental schools close by to where you are.
Reply:you have to floss so your gums wont swell,
but really you have to see a dentist, get a job to pay for it, or get a job that covers dental insurance
Reply:Yea there is healthcare for those who are low income, do a web search on goverment free healthcare, low income health care dental for your state - you should be golden - Your local hospital can refer you to where to go also -- The swelling is an infection, so yea go get some antibiotics - You can go to the emergency room, they can%26#039;t refuse to help you so you can at least get some pain medication and antibiotics - plus get referred to the where to go to apply for the goverment health card or whatever its called
Reply:I%26#039;m not a dentist but you may have a case of gingivitis which can lead to rotting teeth and eventually if left untreated, teeth that will rot and fall out. You may want to check the local public health clinics in your area. They%26#039;ll treat you and your cost will depend upon how much you earn. They use what%26#039;s called a %26quot;sliding scale fee%26quot; to determine what you%26#039;ll pay. In some cases, it%26#039;ll cost you nothing.
Check the public health centers in your area. Good luck !
Reply:you can go to mexico
swelling can be caused from an abcessed tooth. you need to see a dentist or doctor soon, because people have died from infection in their teeth. be careful.
also, you can use neydent toothpaste, and ionic toothbrush and amosan

Getting my teeth fixed PLEASEEEE READ!!!!?
getting my teeth fixed (closing a major gap) and this is what is going to happen -
-filing down of an obstructing tooth from the bottom
-filing the crookered tooth into a V
-placing a cap on the crookered tooth
-totally filing down of a tooth that has grown on the inside of my gums (this is my adult tooth as my baby tooth is remaining at the front)
with possible numerous root canals to avoid future pain
i havent had any dental procedures before so my question is...
IS THIS GOING TO HURT?? im scared!!
and how long is it likely to last??
any help or advise is much appreciated!
Getting my teeth fixed PLEASEEEE READ!!!!?
it probably will take a while they may do it on different days and the only thing you will feel is the antistesia in the shot going into your gums SLIGHTLY but you will feel it and then the pressure on your teeth but it wont hurt like your thinking
Reply:i hope it does that might make my nipples hard and sooo excited
Reply:Let your dental professional know of your anxiety...it%26#039;s very normal to have fears since you have never been thru this before. They will give you local anesthesia...so you should feel no more than pressure

I have a gold teeth...should i get rid of it ?
i am almost 27 years and i got my gold tooth at the age of 16. At that time i was somewhat boyish and liked crazy fashion. ....
All through the years i had no intimate relationships and everyone liked my gold tooth. At 26 i met a European guy and we fell deeply inlove..i was afraid to tell him i have a gold tooth, thinking he will hate it and also his wealthy family.
but he loved it. now i am 27 married and i live in europe.. his family and friends loves my gold tooth. but i dont.
so the argument is..they all dont want me to take it out but i do. We are planning on starting a family this month and i dont want my child to know me with a gold tooth...the gold is on a front teeth. I was offered a job to be a picture model but i turned it down because of the tooth. i am very pretty as people say but i personally think i am not with the tooth.
Questions 1. Should i get rid of it regardless of what they say?
2. If i put a white tooth will it stay in and never fall out after some yrs?
I have a gold teeth...should i get rid of it ?
I think you just got used to your gold teeth. But really, try having those removed and replaced with porcelain teeth. Believe me, you will look better with them. And they will feel like natural teeth. I think it%26#039;s about time you changed those.
Reply:If you don%26#039;t like it just fix it. Personally I can%26#039;t stand women who get gold teeth...just my preference.
Reply:It is VERY RARE that a dentist would suggest a gold crown on a front tooth. They are usually only recommended for back teeth. They have BEAUTIFUL amazing porcelain crowns for front teeth now, sometimes look nicer than your other teeth. Get one you will be happy with it.
PS Any crown can fall off, even gold ones, eventually. You just have to get a replacement done or have it recemented on.
Reply:you obviously dont like the gold tooth,so change it .
you can get a porcelain fused to gold crown which look like your other teeth but will last as long as your current all gold crown (best of both worlds) these cost around $1500 each.
Reply:Porcelain crown is very abrasive and will wear off the opposing tooth. If you really hate it I would suggest a zirconia crown instead of porcelain. But personally I think the gold will last heaps longer.

Will my teeth go back to being straight like they were after I get my wisdom teeth pulled???
I am going to see a dentist in a couple of days to determine if I should get my wisdom teeth pulled since very recently my teeth are becoming more and more crooked and in the last 3-4 days even painful.
I%26#039;m really worried about how they are becoming crooked (it%26#039;s like the bottom front row of my teeth are %26quot;shuffling like cards%26quot;). This has only from what I have noticed started recently, like in the past few weeks. If I get my wisdom teeth pulled since my teeth haven%26#039;t been crooked for very long will they slowly go back to the way they were?
Also, how long does it take for teeth to become crooked, can it happen fast or does it take a while?
Please help!
Will my teeth go back to being straight like they were after I get my wisdom teeth pulled???
i had a tooth pulled.. it made my front teeth go forward, not back to normal.. need braces now
i hope it will be reversed for you
Reply:don%26#039;t worry because my friend pull them out she lost a lot of bold but ya it dos heart you might have to put braces
Reply:Your dentist must have seen you before deciding to extract your wisdom tooth. There must be lack of space in your jaw to accomodate your teeth in the jaw. After extraction the condition may improve or may not. Need to take measurements before any suggestion. So first remove the wisdom tooth then your dentist may decide what to do.
Good luck
DENTIST
Reply:A lot of research have shown that wisdom teeth do not cause front teeth to be crooked, n once crooked, they prob wont straighten unless with braces. Crooked teeth most likely are caused by a jaw too small to accommodate the teeth. N teeth do not move that fast.. it take quite a while. :) N braces dun hurt dat much. i had my braces out 2 mths ago n i didnt feel much pain really.. hehehe
Reply:Mine were pulled in my 20%26#039;s. Now 50%26#039;s and now my teeth are starting to drift apart.
If they bother you, have them pull them, if not, leave them. New braces now, no one can tel you%26#039;re wearing them. BUT $$$!
More the gaps, more the $$$
Then again, some older movie stars don%26#039;t want fake looking teeth so straight and white, %26quot;%26quot;its not natural they say.%26quot;%26quot;
Unless you are on a stage or in films or modeling, don%26#039;t worry about a little drift or crookedness.
