No Adult teeth!!!?

Ok....i%26#039;m 29 now and I was born with no adult teeth. So teeth which i had removed as a child there are now just gum. I was told at 25 that I HAVE no adult teeth, even though my Wisdom teeth grew through. I%26#039;ve had them removed too. Now i have no top or bottom back (chewing) teeth. All the teeth in my mouth now are still my milk teeth.





My friend suggested to me today I may have what%26#039;s called crumbling of the teeth?





Has anyone heard of this? Can i do anything to help my teeth last aslong as possible?





I have always looked after my teeth, brushing everyday and flossing. I use toothpaste for sensitive teeth as i%26#039;ve always had problems with hot and cold. I%26#039;ve always suffered with my teeth.





Am i lacking in something? I only have 13 teeth left in my mouth and im currently waiting to see my dentist but i cant get an earlier appointment, i%26#039;ve tried. I take Vit C, Zinc and Iron tablets everyday. I always eat properly and drink plenty of fluids.

Baby teeth eventually are going to fall out and it is unknown when yours will all fall out.





Sounds like you are doing everything in your power to keep them healthy and clean and in your mouth.





What is more disturbing is why you are born without these adult teeth--- check w/your medical doctor. There are genetic defects that cause this to happen and you should have all the facts in front of you so that you are also aware of other areas of your body that might be affected by this genetic disorder.





Sorry to hear that you have had your wisdom teeth extracted as your might have been able to have these teeth as the anchors that hold onto your dental partials, dentures and or implant dentures.





At this point-- find a comprehensive dentist that can rebuild your smile with permanent teeth that you can chew your food with properly-- as this is important for your nutrition.
Reply:Not to be discouraging but i think you may be fighting a losing battle. Deciduous teeth are only evolved to survive in the mouth for a period of years and so won%26#039;t last as long as permanent teeth. Keep up looking after them and at least you can make them last longer than they otherwise would. After that you could always try implants with a denture which would look natural enough and should work ok.
Reply:I didn%26#039;t have any adult teeth either. As I loose my teeth, they are baby teeth. All the top ones are gone now, I have 8 left on the bottom front, as of tomorrow I will have 7 left. Yep they are pulling one tomorrow. I do wear an upper full plate and that is it. I did wear a partial on the lower but will never do that again or even suggest any body to get one, as they will wear out the teeth that they are connected to. Good luck with yours, I am 50.
Reply:My 13 year old daughter was born without one of her adult teeth. She is hanging on to the baby tooth that is still there as carefully as she can as it is a front tooth. Don%26#039;t really have the answers for you, just wanted you to know there are other people out there that deal with that as well.
