Kina, our dog, lost one of her front teeth. It is an adult tooth. Should something be done? Also, there is a whitish-green puss where the tooth used to be.
Our dog lost an adult tooth... can anyone answer this question?
Because of the pus (sign of infection), you probably want to have her checked out by the vet, and get her on some antibiotics. The infection will eventually spread, may abscess in other teeth, and cause her a lot of pain. She will not be able to eat.
Otherwise, she will be fine -- no more tooth there, but the rest will make up for it!
Reply:Take Kina to the vet.
Reply:sounds like it was infected take to vet
Reply:clean the wound with a solution of salt and water, it will sting for a bit but you might try some baby anbesol first to numb it, then clean it with salt and water on a cotton ball. It is not uncommon for dogs to lose teeth in chewing but usually it%26#039;s only older dogs. If you don%26#039;t do it already get a really good dental bone or chew and brush his teeth with a dog brush kit every week. The tooth will usually heal on its own if you clean it with a warm salt water mixture twice a day. If an absess develops or swelling in that area of the mouth take him to the vet, it may have to be drained and he may need antibiotics.
Reply:You know, I have to say, if you had just lost a tooth and there was any pus involved, you would be on the phone to the dentist right away. Dogs need dental care, too. Sounds like the dog had an abscess for a while if the tooth fell out, and as in humans, a tooth infection can enter the blood stream and cause a life-threatening infection if not taken care of. Your dog is in need of an emergency dental.
Reply:Infection. Take her to the vet.
Reply:Sounds like the tooth is infected so you need to take him to the vets. Oral care is important for dogs and cats the same as it is for humans and should be part of your dogs normal care.

Hi an adult should have 32 teeth and I am 27 years old and i have only 29 teeth can u answer me?
32 is assuming your 4 wisdom teeth came in. Some people just don%26#039;t get wisdom teeth. Weird stuff happens...

Stuff like that happens...........
Reply:32 + 27 + 29 = 88 divided by 3 = 29.34
You are missing a third of a tooth, or as we call them %26quot;third molars.%26quot;
Reply:I only have 29 teeth and I%26#039;m in my 20%26#039;s as well. Maybe we%26#039;re normal!
Reply:Had your wisdom teeth removed? I think you are fine with only 29.
Reply:I only have 25 teeth bc 7 of them just never grew in...my dentists say that it%26#039;s genetics and don%26#039;t worry about it.
Reply:It is likely that you have 3 wisdom teeth that are not erupted. They may be sideways in your jaw. You need to have a panoramic x-ray to know for sure.
Reply:I work in a dental office and I have the answer. If you haven%26#039;t had any teeth removed, then you are either congenitally missing the 3 teeth or they are impacted. Impacted means that they are still hiding under the gum tissue and never finished erupting. Some people just don%26#039;t get some of the teeth for unknown reasons. So, if it is your wisdom teeth that are not there, be thankful because it probably would have been recommended that they be removed anyway. However, if you haven%26#039;t seen a dentist about it, they can do a simple x-ray to see if the teeth are in there and unerupted.
Reply:I have 28 teeth cause I had all 4 of my wisdom teeth removed. Maybe yours didn%26#039;t all come in or you had a teeth removed because of space issues etc. I wouldn%26#039;t worry about it too much! lol...
Reply:An adult with 32 teeth will have all of the regular teeth (28) plus 4 wisdom teeth. You may not have developed all of your wisdom teeth. Wisdom teeth don%26#039;t always develop, because there may be a lack of room. I only had two wisdom teeth on the bottom, which became impacted beneath the gums, so I had surgery to remove them. You really don%26#039;t need wisdom teeth now. They were more useful for earlier humans.

Does getting an adult tooth hurt more than getting a baby tooth pulled?
I%26#039;m just wondering because when I was younger I got two of my babay teehth (mollers) pulled out because I had really bad cavities in them. I just had some laughing gas though, and no pain killers and I was fine. It didn%26#039;t even hurt at all and I was only 6. So what%26#039;s all this huss and fuss about getting wisdom teeth pulled? Do they hurt more just because they%26#039;re adult teeth? Do the roots go way deeper and that%26#039;s why you need pain killers?
Does getting an adult tooth hurt more than getting a baby tooth pulled?
no not really. its just like getting a baby tooth pulled. so dont fret about it! its gonna be okay!
Reply:Yes, it would hurt more because the roots are deeper, but they usually will numb you up a lot, even may put you to sleep so you shouldn%26#039;t feel any pain.
Reply:i had all 4 removed at once and it hurt!!! they were also impacted so they had to be surgically cut out, and maybe thats why i was in so much pain!!
i couldnt eat real food for a while, my mouth was swollen and discolored.
it was probably one of the most painful things ive ever experienced and i even have given birth!!!
Reply:I found that getting teeth pulled as an adult was much more painful! I had three teeth pulled when I had braces put on, and the teeth shattered while they were being pulled out. This meant that the dentist had to dig out all the pieces! It was very uncomfortable. Also, the teeth are more permanent with deeper roots, so it%26#039;s not as easy as removing a baby tooth!! Good luck and just use nitrous, if it%26#039;s offered!!

Difference between baby tooth extraction and adult tooth extractions?
I%26#039;m getting 4 teeth pulled for braces, and one of them happens to be a baby tooth that has no adult tooth growing under it. I just wanted to know if there was a difference with the baby tooth being pulled, like less time for it to heal or anything. Thanks in advance!
Difference between baby tooth extraction and adult tooth extractions?
The baby tooth could have a full root or because of root resorption, or unerupted crowded adult teeth, that could have an impact on the root, causing it to have a shorter root. Anyway you flip the coin, it could be very similar to an adult tooth extraction. Best of luck
Reply:If there is no adult tooth under the baby tooth, then the baby tooth will have a full-size root, and will be similar to having an adult tooth pulled.
Reply:my baby tooth was way easier than the other adult tooth to come out so i think its a wait and see here....they are usually all okay so don%26#039;t panic
if i can go to the dentist anyone can:)

My puppy is 8 mos. old and still has her upper k9 puppy teeth next to her adult ones.?
shouldn%26#039;t she have already lost her puppy teeth, ALL of them by now?
My puppy is 8 mos. old and still has her upper k9 puppy teeth next to her adult ones.?
These are called deciduous teeth and they will need to be removed by your vet if they don%26#039;t fall out soon on their own.
They can cause problems if not removed.
This is not a complicated procedure. Just call your vet and tell them the situation and they can set you up an appointment.

Reply:Yes, dogs have all of their adult teeth by 6 months. What you are seeing are retained puppy teeth and they should be removed by a vet.
Reply:yes, it sounds like she retained her puppy teeth. she will need to get them pulled by the vet. she will need to be under anistisia for the procedure. just give your vet a call and let them know what;s happening
Reply:Dogs do not have all their adult teeth by the time they are 6 mos of age. Depending on the breed, they can still be losing and gaining teeth til they are 8 or 9 mos of age. As long as the teeth aren%26#039;t blocking or stopping adult teeth from coming in. And as long as they aren%26#039;t red and inflamed or infected looking, she%26#039;ll be fine. If it looks like they are in the way and stopping the adult teeth from coming in, you%26#039;ll want the vet to take a look, he might have to pull the baby teeth so the adult teeth can come in properly.
I have a 6 mos + puppy, who lost a pre molar the other day. She still has several puppy teeth to go.
Reply:If she has her puppy teeth AND her adult ones as well you need to take her to the vet and have the puppy teeth surgically removed.

How to tell the difference between Baby Tooth and Adult Tooth?
Hi,
The root of one of my teeth disappeared when I was a teenager and the tooth just staid there. This is an adult tooth, however the insurance is considering it as an baby tooth because it has no root. Is there no other way (size, color) that could help me confirm to the insurance that this is an adult tooth, not a baby one?
This tooth needs to be replaced by an implant, and insurance would cover it if this is an adult tooth only.
Thanks!

How to tell the difference between Baby Tooth and Adult Tooth?
Your dentist should def. be able to tell the difference between a primary tooth and an adult tooth. Depending on where it is located and what size it is in comparison to the other teeth. Some people do not get a permanent tooth in one or more places, thus the baby tooth stays present in the mouth as there is not another tooth under it pushing it out. The roots on baby teeth resorb so they can get ready to become loose and come out to make way for the adult teeth. Even though there is not a root present the tooth can still remain in the mouth for several years, sometimes a lifetime if you are careful. I have seen grown men with a primary tooth still in their mouth. Maxillary perm molars (upper, back teeth) have three roots, and mandibular perm molars (lower back teeth) have two roots. Depending on where this tooth is should tell your dentist if it is a primary or permanent tooth. Some people do have their permanent tooth roots resorb for some reason, in this case if the tooth becomes loose then they would have to have an implant. I know of a case where this happened to a lady in the dental field, she has excellent home care, it just so happened that a back molar root resporbed leaving the tooth loose, so she had an implant placed. I am sure there is a way for your dentist to find out one way or another what is going on in your mouth. Insurance companies can be very picky so don%26#039;t give up, keep trying.
Reply:a baby tooth is smaller than an adult one
Reply:Won%26#039;t your insurance company take the word of a dentist? I%26#039;m sure there%26#039;s some structural way they can prove it with an x-ray or something.
Reply:a baby tooth does not have a root a Adult tooth has four big roots at the end!

My adult tooth has become loose?
im very good with dental care usually but recently i have been careless - too much chocolate!!
ive started looking after my teeth properly again but just as i have a tooth has become loose! it is an adult tooth should i just leave it?

See a dentist immediately: it sounds like you have gum problems.
Reply:Hi the best thing is to go to a dentist and have it checked out. It may be nothing or it could be major either way its the best way to get it off your mind and the longer left the worse it could become. All the best.
Reply:It is coming loose from the GUM or the BONE and therefore is a gum problem. Even the most scrupulous dental hygeine still requires regular cleaning, daily brushing and flossing. Likely placque has formed around the tooth under the gum. The calcification causes the tooth to eventually pull away from the bone which makes the tooth loose (actually the bone decalcifies and isnt able to hold the tooth). No, dont just leave it as it will not resolve on its own. If generally you just have a placque problem that is more than usual, I would recommend a Sonicare toothbrush. The price is worth the dental health.
Reply:You have to see a dentist. If you knocked it loose they may be able to fix it. However if it loosened overtime then you may have BONE LOSS also known as periondontitis.
