i have a brother thats ten and he has gapped teeth. front row and bottom...i know that hes going to have to get braces (or not) but im wondering if he should wait because he currently has alot of his baby teeth. (i think like 5) SHould he wait for his adult teeth or go for it now?
Bros gapped teeth...?
Absolutely wait---- hey, it's natural and actually great to hear that he has gaps at this age (10 yrs. old). It means his jaw is growing and making room for his BIG permanent teeth--NOW, AFTER all of his permanent teeth have come in and he still has the gaps--orhto work is certainly a great option.
BEST to actually have him monitored to PROPERLY Diagnose the amount of gaping being caused in his smile--as some smiles are needed to be corrected BEFORE all of the child's' permanent teeth are in.
Another variable in this is (small permanent teeth) there are some people that have diminutive size permanent teeth and it's unknown if your baby brother also has this problem contributing. Correction for this (veneers or plastic bonding) some doctors only close the gaps without considering the aesthetics of the teeth (shape, color, size).
Get all the facts, make an appointment with an orthodontist for children-- for a complete and proper recommendation for your baby brother's gaps--and to best understand what approach-- if any, is needed to correct this gap problem.
Reply:he should wait for his adult teeth to come in...
Reply:Only the dentist and orthodontist will know when they think the time is right for braces. The dentist will refer him to an orthodontist if he thinks he may need braces and the ortho guy will check things out and then tell him when he thinks will be a good time for him to get braces.
Reply:there's no sense, physically or economically, to straighten his baby teeth with braces...
Reply:He should wait till he gets all his adult teeth, plus if he goes to the dentist he/ she can advise better.
Reply:u shold wait upto 13yr. as canine errupts it put pressure on centrals, u must have IOPA d LAT.CEPH.. RADIOGRAHS BEFORE UNDERGOING ANY TREATMENT.Firstly youshould know the etiology of it

Can i have wisdom teeth removed awake?
Just saw one wisdom tooth begin to erupt, and I think they might have to come out soon (orthodontic work for 3 years). I have a strong fear of general anesthesia, the big issue being death while I'm out. I don't want to be sedated either because I had one tooth out when I was 8 and I had nitrous and it was way too freaky.
I had an impacted adult tooth removed when I was 14, this thing was way in the gum, you could only see it on x-ray. I requested that I stay awake and they kept me up. Honestly, it wasn't that bad. There was blood, grinding, pulling, and a big-*** needle but that didn't bother me as much as the sight of the dreaded general anesthetic equipment. I knew the lidocaine had no chance of death.
However, I'm concerned that the dentist may not do it with local alone even if I request it, because supposedly, wisdom teeth are different. Can this procedure be done awake?

I have had 5 teethe pulled without being put under. four being wisedom
Reply:I had all 4 of my wisdom teeth pulled while I was awake (two at a time). None had broken through the gums but 2 were growing in crooked. So, yes, they can be removed when you're awake.
Reply:If your wisdom teeth have erupted, then you can be awake because (from what I've heard) it's just like a regular tooth removal. The reason most people go under is because the teeth are impacted, haven't erupted, too close to the nerve, etc. Mine hadn't come out yet, so they put me to sleep.
Reply:Yes. I've had one out with Novacaine. It is a lot easier, as you don't need to have someone take you home.
Reply:Yes, you can have your wisdom teeth out with just local anesthetic. the reason they usually put you out with wisdom teeth removal is because of the blood, grinding, tooth breaking they have to do. it will not sound very good and you will feel the pressure but if you can handle it and if the dentist thinks you can handle it they should do it for you.
Reply:YES, it can be done very easly; I had 3 of them pulled/out w/o any anesthetic[live]; the doctor talled me that they have 3 roots and even w/local anesthetic I will feel the pain; so I accepted and was not that bad, I survived......going under....you will never know what the ....good doctor....is doing to ...."U"....
Reply:Absolutely--all the time. In my experience I have assisted erupted and non erupted wisdom teeth. A dentist can extract non erupted wisdom teeth..it just comes down to the choice does he want to or would it be best for the oral surgeon to perform the extractions.?? Not every non erupted wisdom tooth removal goes to the surgeon. Sometimes, if they are not coming through the gum tissue(non erupted) it could also be that the bud of wisdom tooth is too deep to get without getting REALLy involved. So..Yes..you can have all 4 of wisdoms extracted at once or two at a time awake..if that is your choice! Good luck to you.
Reply:I had my top wisdom tooth removed about 8 hours ago and I was awake throughout the whole thing. If you have a good dentist then you won't feel a thing while getting it done. Good Luck
Reply:YES, YOU CAN BE AWAKE FOR THIS WISDOM TEETH ARE NOT DIFFERENT THAN OTHERS.
Reply:I had a wisdom tooth pulled 8 months ago because it broke he numbed me up and pulled it out took about 30 minutes from sitting down to leaving the dentist so ya there are dentist that will do that for you its your body get what you watn done.

Help Romoved teeth was it right move?
i went to the dentists and they romoved 3 pre moulers they said there gonna romove more and one of them is a adult teeth and they said that that they did that cause when my braces go on and when my teeth go back they need room for it to go back were they right cause i only need braces on the top and they romeved a teeth from the bottom too?
Help Romoved teeth was it right move?
Hmmm. Do you have your wisdom teeth yet? If not, have they x-rayed you to see if you have all of them, as some people don't always have all 4. I can understand the top....I think, but it makes more since to remove wisdom teeth that haven't erupted yet to ensure room and ensure that they don't push teeth foward when they come in. Sounds odd to me that they pulled any teeth unless you had "extra" premolars or some type of problem such as extreme crowding. As for the bottom tooth, a bit suspicious. Is the dentist also an orthodontist, meaning is he/she going to put your braces on too?
Reply:Since you cannot take it back, it was the right decision.
Reply:after the braces are on 4 a month or 2 the spaces will close up and you wont be able to tell
Reply:well you cant do anything about it now, and they are proffesionals they know what they're doing
Reply:Sounds like my niece and she has Beautiful teeth now-she is 23.
Yes I feel you made the right move in a short while you'll be so Glad u did!

3 yr old son got his teeth knocked back.....?
yesterday my son fell and when I opened his mouth, one of his front teeth was knocked back and I pulled it forward. I can tell his other front teeth was affected to by the fall also from his gums but it wasn't knocked back like the other one. By looking at it, I can tell its crooked. One is more out than the other one (the one that was knocked back) I put some pressure on it while he was sleeping to try to get it lined up with the other one but it didn't work. What would a dentist do in this situation. Would they put my son to sleep to fix his teeth or something since he is not mature enough yet to sit still? Is there something that is done to make sure the teeth will grow properly and his adult teeth will grow straight? There looks like dried blood on his gums? Does this mean his gums are infected?
3 yr old son got his teeth knocked back.....?
yes, you should bring him to a dentist, prefferably a pedodontist who deals with small children everyday. Your son should have those teeth til he is 6or so, so hang onto them if at all possible. The dentist may splint the loose tooth to more sound teeth so it may heal but they may need a pulpectomy, if the pulp is affected by the fall. Good luck
Reply:I would take him to his pediatrician and have them look at his teeth. Kids get their baby teeth battered and knocked out all the time. The doctor will be able to tell you if he really needs to see a dentist and if his gums are infected. Yes, the dentist would have to give him some medication to make him sleep. Just don't let the dentist talk you into anything like root canals or crowns for baby teeth. I have heard that a lot. Some parents have been talked into spending thousands of dollars on teeth that are going to fall out anyway. Horrible.
Reply:Take him to the dentist!
Reply:Take him to the hospitle and quick man.
His gums sound infected please dont try to help his pain of the tooth it may make it worse then before so harry leave right now and if not his teeth may became blood shout like he can't eat on that tooth or it will hurt, its like mine and i do not want that kid to be hurt like my tooth and it hurts bad............ HELP HIM NOW MAN!!!!!!!!!!!! ............
Reply:take him to an orthadontist.
Reply:why in the world would you not bring him to the dentist or doctor when his tooth got knocked out? Let's use some common sense......
Honestly, he is probably in pain. i hop ethe LEAST you are doing is giving him tylenol or some other child pain medication. Oh my gosh, your poor son.

Question about my 7yr old son's front teeth?
when my son was 2yrs old, he fell and hit one of his front teeth on concrete. I took him to the dentist and he said that he "killed" the tooth, would turn black and fall out. The adult tooth would come in just fine. Well, he never lost the tooth and it didn't turn black it just turned a yellowish color. He is now 7yrs old and he lost that tooth and about 3 weeks later he lost his other front tooth. The one that he lost second (the good one) has already started to come through, it's about half way. The other one has not started, can't see where it is even breaking the gums yet. It looks like the gums are starting to heal. I'm worried that there may not be a tooth at all. Any ideas??? just in case you tell me to go to a dentist, i have an appointment scheduled march 17th.
Question about my 7yr old son's front teeth?
Not all teeth will come in at the same time.Usually with front teeth one will come in faster than the other one.
Reply:The dentist can take an x-ray and show you the tooth buds. don't worry I'm sure his teeth with be fine.
Reply:It would be extremely rare for a central incisor not to form. I've never seen it happen.
Teeth do not always come out simultaneously, and that is all I think is happening in your situation. It is too early to be concerned about other possibilities.
For example, sometimes an extra tooth forms between the central incisors (called a mesiodens) and can obstruct the incisors from erupting. An Xray would show you what's happening.
In another example, sometimes the gum heals up too fast and hard over an erupting incisor, and stops it coming thru. A simple incision into the gum to break the skin will fix it.
I would wait 3 months before looking at these possibilities.
Reply:Definately dont miss that appointment . Some teeth are definately slower than others but since your son has had trauma in that area I would definately let a dentist check to see if it was still moving into position .Are you seeing the same dentist as before because he could compare the x-ray from before with a current x-ray to make sure the tooth has completely formed and is in position to come through .Even though it has been a long time since the fall if you are not seeing that dentist I would call and ask if I could get an x-ray copy forwarded to the doc you are seeing so he will see first hand what it looked like before . I also have a seven year old little boy . I hope all is fine and his tooth is just slow to come in .My sons two upper front teeth seemed to take forever to come in but the other teeth have come in very soon after they were lost .

SIX Canine teeth - YES SIX! - have you seen this?
My six month old kitten is teething and has horrible dragon breath. This is the 28th kitten I have raised - be them my own adopted babies or kittens I fostered.
Never, have I seen this, his milk teeth are coming out, on schedule and as they should be - I know the teething and bad breath are normal and as expected.
BUT - he currently has two top canines on each side. They are side by side as if the new adult tooth pushed the milk tooth to the side.
I called the vet and they said it is okay...odd, but okay. I just need to keep checking him and making sure he is eating.
Has anyone ever seen this? I am going to try and get a picture but it is hard to hold his mouth open and operate the camera at the same time.
SIX Canine teeth - YES SIX! - have you seen this?
I have seen and heard of dogs having something like this. When they are suppose to loose their puppy teeth, they never fall out, and the adult teeth grow right along side of it.
Never have I heard about it in cats though.
I will try to find more info, or images...but I am having no luck right now.
Edit: It's called: Retained Deciduous (Baby) Teeth

Reply:That's kind of neat. I'd like to see a photo. I haven't seen it first hand, but it does sound logical that the adult tooth may have just pushed it to the side.
Enjoy your kitten and try for that photo!

How can I stop the pain of teeth growing in?
I'm at my aunt's house till septeber-and my baby chew toys are back at my house-or else I'd be chewing on thoose....
I'm starting to grow my adult teeth in and the pain has hurt the whole side of my mouth...
It's either my adult teeth or my wisdoms need to be plucked...I havn't lost all of my baby teeth yet......
Anyways-i thikn were out of carrots, and chewing on my finger hurts...
It jsut started comeing out, and it's jsut now breaking my gum...Hurts-And tastes a tad bit like blood, but tissue dosen't have any blood on it...
(If this tells you anything- I was foaming the other day due to not drinking anought water)
How can I stop the pain of teeth growing in?
While I was pregnant, I had a wisdom tooth coming in and I couldn't take tylenol or anything like that. My doctor suggested putting a little spicy mustard where the pain was. It actually worked. I dont promise it will go away completely, but it'll feel much better.
Reply:consult the dentist!
Reply:call your dentist at home, see if he can get you a pain reliever until you get back so you can see him. Those wisdoms are painful. They could be growing against the roots of your other teeth and if you dont see a dentist, it could pull out more teeth than necessary!
Reply:Motrin I.B.
Reply:Try some Advil or Ibprofen
Reply:There are some over the counter analgysics (sp?) that are stronger than advil. I had a bad tooth while preggo and I froze washclothes and chewed on them. That froze it a little bit. My sister also tried the liquigel advils and breaking one open over the area and she swore by it!

Would wobbly teeth put a dog off eating???
my shih tzu has been off her food, and when i took her to the vet, and the dog has 2 baby teet that are still attached to her gums but her adult teeth are in the right place. The teeth are coming out tomorrow, but would the wobbly teeth put her off eating??
Would wobbly teeth put a dog off eating???
I would think so...it probably isn't very comfortable for her w/ her teeth not being very secure...
Reply:It can. It depends on the position of the teeth and how loose they are. Sometimes food can also get caught in between the adult and baby teeth and cause some pain. Hopefully she'll be eating better when they're out.
Reply:Probably, the teeth are sore I would imagine, think about it, if you had loose teeth and had to eat hard food it would hurt and make you not want to eat.
You might offer her some of her food after you soaked it in warm water to soften.
Reply:Yes, of course. If you had wobbly teeth which most likely would cause some degree of discomfort while you ate, wouldn't you rather not bother with a meal.
You'll better know what to think after the baby teeth come out tomorrow.
Reply:Probably not if they are deciduous (baby) teeth. But it is possible that some bleeding from those baby teeth could cause gastrointestinal irritation, and that could cause your dog to be inappetent. I would wait and see how she does after the deciduous teeth are extracted.

Are my teeth going to fall out?
I just got braces for the bottom side of my teeth. When I was on the computer, I felt my teeth and one of my bottom incisors felt like it was loose. I have all of my adult teeth, and I'm freaking out right now. Can anybody give me some answers why this is happening to me?
Are my teeth going to fall out?
I have braces too, and sometimes i think so too. It's most likely just your teeth shifting i have that happen a lot too. Wait a little bit don't play with it and see if it changes at all. If its still feels loose, I'd go see the orthodontist.
Reply:eventually yes.....but not for a long time because braces essentially damage the jawbone but it takes a while for the damage to take effect so you get to enjoy perfect teeth for a while
what you are experiencing is the strain on your teeth, and that will end in a couple of months when your teeth stop hurting! So no, you are fine for now.
Reply:I wouldn't take any answers from this site seriously when it concerns your permanent dental well-being. Call your orthodontist or dentist.
Reply:Call your dentist and leave an urgent message or ask for an opinion asap.
Don't chew anything tough until you know what it is.
If you have no pain or swelling, then relax. Either it is good or bad and you can't really do anything about it.

Dental Health Issue, loose teeth!?
Please help. I'm a 14 y.o. boy in NYC who has all of his adult teeth in. Sometimes I don't brush my teeth in the morning or at night, and those days I simply don't brush. Now my teeth are loose and I'm afraid that they're going to fall out! This can't be happening! Brushing my teeth now won't help, so what will? Is there any way I can stop them from falling out? Or will routine brushing every day keep them from falling out? They're ALREADY LOOSE AND I'M ONLY 14! Please help me. They can't fall out already!
HELP!
Dental Health Issue, loose teeth!?
I understand your concern and it's good that you care about your teeth. Yes, there is a way to stop your teeth from falling out.
However, your problem can not be definitively diagnosed and the treatment cannot be recommended, without a complete dental exam, xays, and laboratory tests.
What can you do?
1. See your dentist right away for evaluation.
2. Continue flossing and brushing with PROPER techniques at least two times daily.
3. Drink a lot of milk.
4. Stay on a healthy diet and avoid frequent sugar intakes.
Best Wishes
Reply:well it sounds to me as if you have a periodontal problem..(gum)..maybe gingivitis. But i cant be sure until i have seen your gums, if your gums are a bit on the red side then i would say you do have gingivitis.
What you need to do is brush your teeth every day, make sure of it and ensure that you are brushing your gums, not just your teeth.
Do you floss regularly too?
because not flossing is a huge cause of gum problems.
Use a fairly strong mouthwash that contains CLORHEXIDINE such as clorohex 1200 or corsodyl.
Your gums should then tighten up around your teeth in a few weeks...but act upon it now or your teeth will just fall out as all the bacteria under your gums erodes at your jaw bone.
ps; dont wobble your teeth.
Reply:First off, you need a dental checkup ASAP. Routine brushing twice daily followed with a floride rinse will help repair your gums. However, if you do not have the plaque removed that has accumulated along the gum line, you are fighting a lost cause. You need a good cleaning an scaling due to your neglect. Poor dental hygiene can cause all sorts of physical illness and problems besides the loss of teeth.
Reply:Any bleeding gums, are they swollen(inflamed).These can lead to infection and the loss of your teeth. You might need an antibiotic.Tell a parent of you problem. You need to see a dentist. There ways of cleaning below your gums to tighten your teeth. It might be to late. Show someone and get it taken care of.Infection can cause big problems.
Reply:I guess now you know why flossing and tooth brushing are important. You will look ridiculous with dentures as a teenager.
Are your gums bleeding?? If so you have gingivitis, a gum disease. The following will help heal your gums. But you must follow the regimen.
1. Floss and brush TWICE EVERY DAY.
2. Use an ANTIBACTERIAL MOUTHWASH. Your teeth are loosening up because of bacteria in your gums the mouth wash twice every should help that.
3. To help heal you gums, get HYDROGEN PEROXIDE, from the drug store in is most always next to the alcohol.
Take a mouth full and swish it in your mouth and let it bubble, it will bubble out the disease from under your gums. Do this morning and night. DO NOT SWOLLOW, it feels icky if you swollow.
It will heal the bleeding and any pain you have in your gums.
Get started doing these things promptly and call for a dental appointment in about two weeks. Then your gums and teeth should be in much better condition.
Reply:You need to see a dentist, maybe a Periodontist ASAP, like now. You need serious antibiotics and to have your condition determined by a DENTIST as soon as you can get in. There is a chance they can be saved or that some of them can be saved. You can get very , very ill and I urge you to get care now. If the teeth are truly hopeless, only the dentist can tell you what to do. I hope you get the care you need.

HELP!
Dental Health Issue, loose teeth!?
I understand your concern and it's good that you care about your teeth. Yes, there is a way to stop your teeth from falling out.
However, your problem can not be definitively diagnosed and the treatment cannot be recommended, without a complete dental exam, xays, and laboratory tests.
What can you do?
1. See your dentist right away for evaluation.
2. Continue flossing and brushing with PROPER techniques at least two times daily.
3. Drink a lot of milk.
4. Stay on a healthy diet and avoid frequent sugar intakes.
Best Wishes
Reply:well it sounds to me as if you have a periodontal problem..(gum)..maybe gingivitis. But i cant be sure until i have seen your gums, if your gums are a bit on the red side then i would say you do have gingivitis.
What you need to do is brush your teeth every day, make sure of it and ensure that you are brushing your gums, not just your teeth.
Do you floss regularly too?
because not flossing is a huge cause of gum problems.
Use a fairly strong mouthwash that contains CLORHEXIDINE such as clorohex 1200 or corsodyl.
Your gums should then tighten up around your teeth in a few weeks...but act upon it now or your teeth will just fall out as all the bacteria under your gums erodes at your jaw bone.

Teeth falling out?
I have just noticed that 2 of my puppys bottom teeth have either fallen out or broken off. She is 5 months old. Does this mean she is gettign adult teeth or has she been chewing on something to make them break?
Teeth falling out?
Awwww, She's just losing her puppy teeth. If you're lucky, you might even find one or two. Usually they get swallowed with no harm done.
Dogs have 28 deciduous (temporary) teeth and 42 permanent teeth. Puppies have no teeth at birth, and grow deciduous teeth beginning their second week of life.
At three months of age, the deciduous teeth begin to be replaced by the permanent teeth.
The replacement process begins with the incisors, and moves backwards through the canines, premolars and finally the molars. The turnover process is usually complete by the time the dog is eight months old, with none of the original 28 deciduous teeth remaining.
Most deciduous teeth are swallowed with food and never seen by the pet owner. Occasionally a deciduous tooth is merely pushed to the side and retained next to the permanent tooth. Retained deciduous teeth can be removed by a veterinarian.
The incisors turn over from deciduous to permanent from two to four months of age. The canines usually convert around six months of age. The premolars and molars follow in that order, with the last permanent molar erupting around eight months of age.
The exact schedule does vary from breed to breed.
Reply:She is probably losing her baby teeth. Normally dogs swallow their teeth when they lose them. So you may not notice them around the house. She should lose her canines last, and those normally fall out at about 6 months. Have fun with your pup. Don't forget to get her fully vaccinated and spayed! Good luck
Reply:Pups teeth fall out just like with a human baby. Perfectly normal.
Reply:I would consult your vet about the broken teeth, as that is unusual. But she is at the right age for getting her adult teeth. Are you sure you aren't seeing part of the adult tooth growing in and mistaking it a s a broken tooth?
Reply:puppies teeth fall out just like kids they will come back dont worry
Reply:She's just teething :) She's going to be fine, take a sock and wet it, then freeze the sock. Once it is completely frozen let her chew on it till it thaws then do it again. Cheap teether ;)
Reply:normal loss of baby teeth, but chewing (teething) on toys could help them to come out. No need to worry.
Reply:she is losing her baby teeth.you shouldn't worry.it usually happens during 5 months to about 10 months.
Reply:she is getting her adult teeth, its normal, they start getting them at 5 months old
Reply:Im not a vet or nothing and obviously thats the only way to know for sure. But, I do know that dogs usually loose their baby teeth at around 6 months so that would be my guess.

Why are my dogs teeth loose?
I have a yorkshire terrier that is 4 years old. She barely is losing her puppy k9 teeth (the long sharp ones), when she was 3 yrs, and one still remains. Now her upper k9 and the one next to it is loose. They are adult teeth, and I don't know what to do. I'm concerned that she is gonna lose all her teeth eventually. I brush her teeth, but she still has really bad breath and tarter. I've give her raw hides and "greenies" (tarter control chewing things). What is wrong with her? please help.
Why are my dogs teeth loose?
Sounds like she may have periodontal disease.
No greenies or chews will help at this point. She needs a professional teeth cleaning (scaling and polish) by a vet.
There is a new dental sealant called OraVet, check it out (for after the dental) http://www.Oravet.com
The teeth are probably falling out due to gum recession. Some dogs are more prone to mouth disease/problems then others.
If there in an infection present, she will probably have to be on antibiotics.
Definitely do not ignore the problem, studies have shown, good teeth care will extend the life of your pet. The bacteria associated with tartar can lead to heart problems and much more!
Hope I helped!
Reply:she has gingivitus. its common in many dogs. if you take her to the vet or just go to a local pet store, you can ask them for a special toothpaste that can help :P
Reply:sounds strange
call the vet
Reply:somone cracked him in the jaw.
Reply:She should have lost her puppy teeth a long long time ago...like around a few months of age. Her mouth should be evaluated by a vet to be sure what exactly what is going on in there. She may have bitten onto something hard like some rocks or she may have some dental problems that need to be addressed to try to preserve the rest of her teeth if need be.
Reply:You need to make an appointment at the vet for her. She could have a teeth infection or teeth disease. My dogs all lost their puppy teeth within the 1st year.
Reply:i would take her to the vet just to make sure nothing is wrong with her. also i would hold off on the raw hides until u can figure out wat is going on.
Reply:It sounds like she needs a good dental cleaning and then the vet can see if the teeth need to be pulled. Once they are clean you can keep them clean by brushing them. Pre-anesthetic bloodwork should be done on your dog to make sure it is healthy before the dental and this will let the vet know if your dog may have any underlying conditions causing loose teeth.
Reply:Smaller dogs commonly have retained teeth and higher incidence of tooth problems, though it can happen in all breeds. If she is just now losing her puppy teeth that could explain a lot. When the adult teeth were trying to grow in the puppy teeth could have put pressure on them and taken up the root space the adult teeth needed.
Having a dental exam done by the Vet will help improve her health. This isn't a problem that greenies and rawhides can fix. If the gingivitis gets too bad it can lead to kidney failure due to the bacteria.
Reply:She is in obvious need of a dental.
Why has your vet never recommended extracting these retained puppy teeth at your annual visits?
Yorkies are SO prone to dental problems, and this is the number one reason you should be seeking veterinary advice, and should have long ago.
Retained puppy teeth will rot, causing Gingivitis of the gums and infection /rotting of the adult teeth.
Brushing and Greenies will not help this problem.
Reply:You should consult a vet. Maybe you should hold off on the brushing and on the rawhides. Maybe you are brushing too hard. Are you scrubing? That could be the reason.
Reply:This sounds like a gum disease called piorea.I would take this dog to the vet fast since it has already lost so many teeth.
Reply:I don't know why, but smaller dogs tend to have bad teeth no matter how hard the owner's try to keep them clean. Since her baby tooth never came out, bacteria and plaque have probably built up between the 2 teeth and have caused damage to the permanent tooth. Only a dental check by a vet could tell you how far the damage has gone. If she has infected teeth, they are probably painful and the kind thing would be to have them removed before they cause other health issues.
There are many dogs out there that have lost their teeth and are still able to eat softened dry food or canned food.
Reply:Make sure that your vet takes dental x-rays prior to doing anything. Often times there is pathology associated with the jaw and there can also be fractures present prior to removing the teeth. Also, what you see in the mouth is literally the "tip of the iceberg." There is a whole lot of tooth down there under the gum that cannot be evaluated without radiology. Your dentist would never pull a tooth without doing an x-ray first.

I have a third pair of teeth in some places. What causes this?
My eye teeth (vampire-k9-fangs) All lost baby teeth and have grown adult teeth. Then they came out again and I have a VERY long third pair. I am 15 and female. What causes this? It kinda hurts cause they're wide and long hence pushing my other teeth. Then on my left side I have another third tooth comming about my second. It's not noticable and I'm going to the dentist next month to check it out. Does anyone know what's causing this and/or what will possibly happen when I go to the dentist. Surgery? Filing them? Braces?

DOG EXPERTS, PLEASE HELP! Dog teeth has brown eroded holes!?
My 1 year old puppy had had this problem ever since his adult teeth came. It started with small brown patches, which eventually became bigger and bigger holes. It eats away the tooth, causing brown 'holes' concaved in the teeth!
Description: Teeth white, with small brown holes everywhere. It is more serious in the front teeth that back. When i feel them, the brown holes are caved in, forming little 'caves'.
I am really desperate!!! I don't know what to do!! I can't go to a dog dentist, that is not an option. Worst case scenario: Will my puppy die because of this? He is losing appetite...
PLEASE HELP!
DOG EXPERTS, PLEASE HELP! Dog teeth has brown eroded holes!?
Get him to the vet and have his teeth cleaned. While your vet has your dog cleaning his teeth and doing any necessary extractions, he can also try and find the cause. Teeth cleaning is usually less than $200. They don't make dog dentures, so don't delay.
Bad teeth can lead to many serious things, like kidney failure. So I can't stress the importance of prompt care.
Reply:If your dog is in pain, or losing his appetite and you are worried, you need to take him to the vet ASAP. You wont find the correct anser on the web, you need vet help.
Reply:sorry hun, but only option you might have is to go to the vet for your little puppy. if the teeth are rotting away thats one thing, but if he's losing his appetite thats another. your puppy will have serious problems if he doesn't get help soon. those teeth need to be checked out and pulled out!
Reply:I am stumped,.. but obiously it is causing the pup some pain that's why loss of appetite.
Nothing's worse than a toothache too.
It may be from a vitamin/mineral deficiency that's causing the teeth enamal to erode.
HAVE YOU TAKEN TO A VET?
A reputable vet with experience (may not need a specialist) would have come across that condition before.
So take to vet for oral examination.

I have never heard of your problem. What did your vet say? I never heard of a doggie dentist. The only thing I notice is that my dogs' teeth always get a bit darker along the gum line as they age. I have friends who tell me they brush their dogs teeth, but I wonder why. I once had a neighbor dog with a few teeth missing, but he seemed healthy enough.
If you cannot afford to see a vet, call your local humane society. If they cannot recommend someone you can afford, maybe you cannot afford a dog.
Dogs are so much better than humans. They love you even if you don't give them enough love. Humans are lying and trying to cheat me every day, but no dog would ever do that.
If a vet or licensed vet tech tells you your dog is losing weight, he may need nutritional supplementation, like Ensure, Instant Breakfast or vitamins %26amp; minerals But do not spend the money on fancy foods, just read the labels at the pet food stores and go to cheap human food stores. Dogs can stay healthy with the foods most humans eat except for those crazy vegans (vegetarians). Dogs need more protein than humans (but not as much as cats). You may consider supplementing your dog food with a percentage of cat food. Whatever you do, run your written plan by your dogs vet.

Reply:What kind of a dog is he? Some breeds, especially tight mouthed/lip breeds such as greyhounds and toy breeds have all sorts of trouble with their teeth and need yearly dentals done by a vet. My Italian Greyhounds need yearly dentals, one of them has a tendancy to get the spots your talking about, but he also has a tooth enamal problem, maybe yours does too. If thats the case nothing you can really do other than brushing and feeding a quality diet will help. Only your vet can do a proper dental cleaning to prevent future damage. Abcessed teeth can cause a massive infection and turn into blood poisoning and quickly kill the puppy.
Reply:You don't need a dog expert to tell you to go to a VET!! What are you waiting for? For the dog to die?
If you are unable to spend a little money for this condition that I have NEVER heard of (sounds terrible) even though the dog is in pain and not eating, then perhaps you should take it to a shelter and give up your ownership.
A vet check-up is only around the $50 range, see what is wrong with the dog. Any treatment they need to do can be put on a payment plan- vets offer that.

Kitty teeth?
So my 'boys' are 5, 3, 1.5 and 8 months. I dont remember with my 5 year old when his baby teeth were all gone, or with our 3 year old, but I just noticed our 1.5 year old is missing a couple teeth. I already have one with a gum disease, and I just cant remember at what age all adult teeth should be in. Anyone?
Kitty teeth?
I just looked it up online and most of the articles said kitties should have all their permanent teeth by the age of 6 months. You might want to check his/her gums and make sure they look pink and healthy or have your vet check em out for you. This might be why they are missing or he might have got in a fight or something like that. I hope this answer helped. Good luck and God Bless!
Reply:My cat was a rescue, so I have no definite idea how old she is, though she was pretty little when I took her in. I think I remember my vet saying that although she couldn't tell me how old she was exactly, she had her adult teeth, so that meant she was over 6 months old at the time.
Reply:well, check what it is eating and biting.
Reply:The kitten teeth fall out at about 4 or 5 months of age. If you have an adult cat with missing teeth they are not going to come back. The only teeth cats struggle without are the back teeth and cats without these need a soft food diet or to have their biscuits soaked in water.

You might want to check his/her gums and make sure they look pink and healthy or have your vet check em out for you. This might be why they are missing or he might have got in a fight or something like that. I hope this answer helped. Good luck and God Bless!
Reply:My cat was a rescue, so I have no definite idea how old she is, though she was pretty little when I took her in. I think I remember my vet saying that although she couldn't tell me how old she was exactly, she had her adult teeth, so that meant she was over 6 months old at the time.
Reply:well, check what it is eating and biting.
Reply:The kitten teeth fall out at about 4 or 5 months of age. If you have an adult cat with missing teeth they are not going to come back. The only teeth cats struggle without are the back teeth and cats without these need a soft food diet or to have their biscuits soaked in water.

Need help about my sons teeth?
My son is seven years old and he has lost his bottom 2 teeth and they grew in fine. When he lost his top r i noticed that his adult tooth is coming in the comlete opposite way! (the side of the tooth is foremost instead of the flat front of the tooth)
He has an appointment on thursday, but i want to know how they would or if they can fix it. Can he have braces though he still has baby teeth.
I feel bad he said " i dont wanna look like a dork mom, can the dentist fix it"

This is highly individual. Personally, I tend to refer a patient to the orthodontist as soon as I know there will be problems. Often, I get a letter back saying thanks for the referral, but the child has been placed on 6 or 12 month recall. I would FAR prefer to have a child seen before they are ready for treatment instead of getting them there too late. If you can guide growth and development, it is far easier than waiting for the teeth to come in all wrong and then try to fix them. Ask your dentist for a recommendation and get an early consultation. It will most likely be free and you could also find out about costs.
Reply:the dentist is probably going to tell you that they will staighten as more teeth grow in, but unfortuantley they cant do anything till baby teeth are all gone
Reply:they often come thru crooked but straighten up later ,he wont be able to have a brace until he is about 13 and all his baby teeth have gone
Reply:ohhh, if you want to pay for brases twice and keep your son in brases for 6-7 years, I'm sure some dentist can put them on your son. Tough I would not (and did not do that to my kid), just for the simple reason, that if he can not take peer pressure at 7 than what are you going to do when he is 16?
Reply:I work in an oral surgeon's office and that problem is something that we fix all the time. You will have to wait until he is a little bit older though so that he has some permanent molars to attach braces to. Then, they will be able to cement a chain to that tooth which will tug on it for a few months, pulling it into the proper orientation. That procedure is not actually that expensive, although the braces may be.
Reply:Your son is too young, for braces, a he needs some adult molar teeth to fix the braces.
But usually the teeth straighten up, mostly due to the pressure of the tongue

Hereditary Dental conditions that effect baby teeth???
Does anyone know of any? Ok my husband had to get 2 teeth pulled when he was very small, his sister had a root canal at age 6. their adult teeth came in fine and no problems. not I just found out that my 3 year old daughter has 8 cavities and one is very very bad. also my husbands nephews both went to the dentist, one had to get a tooth pulled and the outher a root canal. my sister in law took her boys to the dentist 6 moths ago and their teeth were fine. My daughter brushes her teeth all the time after she eats and never eats exsessive sweets. I dont understand. I am really convinced that there is something on my husband side of the family that effects baby teeth, has anyone ever heard of such a thing, please help, this is like a mystery.
Hereditary Dental conditions that effect baby teeth???
Yes you can inherit tendencies towards bad teeth from one or both parents. Not all dentists believe this but one dentist told either my mother or my brother (can't remember which) about this.
Reply:Ask your dentist these questions. Does your daughter drink alot of punch, tea, cokes or other sugary drinks? (A soft drink has 10 tsp. of sugar that goes into the blood stream and can rot teeth from the inside out!)
Reply:My nephew's son had to have his baby teeth surgically removed for the same reason, and I believe surgery on his gums. They gave him a bottle with kool-aide in it a lot. Are you sure that you don't do something similar? Make sure she has vitamins and plenty of milk to build strong teeth and bones.
Reply:it could be possible it is heridity..on the other hand i have heard people say if mother was on different types of medication for health problems for long a very time in her young age , that could also affect the childs growth in many ways including dental issues..better to consult Dr now as she is still 3 yrs.. she is still in her milk tooth..may be next set of tooth shud come up fine with Doc help

Son's front teeth pulled?
On Tuesday I have an appointment to get my one year old son's two front teeth pulled because of Baby Bottle Mouth.He wasn't with me when he got this.The dentist said I had two options which was to get a root canal done on his teeth then put crowns on them or get them pulled.She said it would be easier just to get them pulled but I feel like I should get the crown on them even though they are baby teeth.Im scared he's going to get made fun of when he starts school and for every picture until he gets his adult teeth he's going to look goofy.So I don't know what I should do and which is best for him.
Son's front teeth pulled?
As your sons teeth are carious/decayed than removing the existing caries is a must to prevent futher loss of tooth structure.
Rampant caries or baby bottle caries are the most common cause of decay in small children.
If the caries Involve pulp even then root canals(pulpotomys/puplectomy in children) can be done,If it involves extensive loss of tooth structure than Crowns are recommended.
Also keep in mind that it is Very Important to save these teeth till the age of 7-8 years,as they guide the eruption of permanent teeth,also aid in preventing malocclusion,Donot get them extracted and try to save them by conservative means.Look at the eruption chart:
http://www.mchoralhealth.org/pediatricoh...
So make it sure that these teeth are saved,fluoride application will benefit in preventing any further damage,it will surely aid in delaying the tooth decay process.Read about it more here:

This what you can do for preventition of any decay further and damage other teeth
1)Take care to clean the childs teeth after every feed.
2)Also take care to change the babys feeding habits,avoid bottle feeding before sleep, Isolate the sugar factors from the diet chart and control sugar exposure.
Reply:Well It would hurt him less if he just had them pulled. And he could not show his teeth when he smiles?
I feel sorry 4 him. Hope he does not get made fun of 4 either choice you make! xoxoxoxo
Reply:GABIE,
A PEDIATRIC DENTIST CAN ALWAYS EXTRACT CONSIDERING HE'S SO YOUNG. REMEMBER, NOTHING BUT PLAIN WATER AT NIGHT, NO MILK, JUICE OR ANYTHING IN A BOTTLE CONTAINING SUGAR. THESE UPPER TEETH WOULD START TO BE REPLACED BY ADULT TEETH WHEN HE'S AROUND 7.
Reply:Put the crown.My teeth are messed up because the Dentist had to take it out.Just put the crown it dosen't hurt a bit and the teeth will be straight and he won't need braces!
Reply:First you need to ask the dentist if the crowns would be siliver crowns, because most dentist office will only put silver crowns on baby teeth. Then ask the price difference in both procedures, and choose whats best for you.
