My daughter lost her baby teeth about six months ago and the adult teeth have not yet broken the skin of the gums !!! Her teeth always have and are extremely well cared for so I am a little lost !!! She is seven years old and the other kids at school are starting to notice, which is compounding the problem ! Can anybody offer some me some help ?
Why have%26#039;nt my daughters adult front teeth grown in after six months ?
Sometimes the adult teeth are just a little slow at making their way in. Sometimes the tissue can be a little tough and impede their movement. If this is the case a simple cutting of the gums may allow them to erupt in quickly. Have your dentist assess them.
Reply:take her for a check up...
your dentist will be able to answer your questions
my grandson had all 4 upper anteriors extracted when he was three, at age 7 the permanent ones were not in yet, my dentist/boss had to help them along
Reply:this happened to my little cousin he lost one of his front teeth and it didn%26#039;t grow in after 2 years. this was because his teeth were soft.
maybe thats why.
does your child get cavities easily or has a lot?
[[ if so its soft teeth ]]
Reply:sometimes there are no adult teeth, they don not grow in... go to the dentist for a check up

I got a ton of teeth pulled and the adult ones aren't coming up, so they might have to pull them up surgically
I%26#039;ve already gotten my teeth pulled, but since the adult teeth aren%26#039;t coming up by themselves, the orthodontist might have to surgically pull the adult teeth up...has anyone ever had this happen? what do they do and is it painful?
I got a ton of teeth pulled and the adult ones aren%26#039;t coming up, so they might have to pull them up surgically
It is called a surgical exposure...You would have to go to an oral surgeon and they would make a small cut in your gums to expose the tooth and then place a bracket and a chain on the tooth so that your orthodontist would then be able to move the tooth down. When you are having this done you will be either numb or put to sleep. After-wards you will be a little bit sore but it will not be unbearable. Good luck!
Reply:I%26#039;m not sure how long or when you had your teeth pulled, but I had 12 teeth pulled when I was around 3rd grade all the way up to 5th grade. They didn%26#039;t start coming in untill late 5th grade and 6th grade. Which was about 3 years for most of them. Please get a second opinion if you think this operation is being done too soon. Give them at least a year to grow in. I hope everything goes alright. good luck

How Long does it take for adult teeth to grow?
I just got two [baby] teeth pulled. And I meant to ask the dentist, but I forgot too.. So I was just wondering how long it takes for the adult teeth to come in? is it a long time? I mean I%26#039;ve lost teeth before.. But I never really payed attention to how long it took for new teeth to come in.. And I Don;t know if it makes a difference or not that they were pulled.. Will that make it take longer? or does it not matter?
Thanks for the help.
How Long does it take for adult teeth to grow?
There are different ages that eruption of the permanent dentition occurs. Some start earlier but most have one or two central incisors by 6 yrs old, then they gradually are losing and erupting through out the years until around 12 years old when the 2nd molar erupts. Thus the reason the 2nd molar is called the 12 year molar. That is usually the last tooth that most people have erupt on their own. The 3rd molar, more commonly referred to as the wisdom tooth is sometimes extracted before eruption due to impaction, lack of room in the mouth, and sometimes it%26#039;s just simply not there. It is the problem tooth in almost all cases. It usually erupts around 17-25 years of age.
Reply:well it depends on ones body!
It could take a long time but nothings wrong because our bodies not the same!!
Reply:Well, the range is broad depending on which tooth. Take a look at the link below.
Starting around the 7th year of age to the 25th year of age.

I know baby teeth start to form long before baby is born. When do adult teeth begin to form?
My question is related to %26#039;Dental Fluorosis%26#039;. I am wondering since when we should be very careful about the intake amount of fluoride to not to affect the adult teeth of a kid.
If baby teeth are affected by %26#039;Dental Fluorosis%26#039;, this doesn%26#039;t mean that the adult teeth are going to be affected automatically, right?
I know baby teeth start to form long before baby is born. When do adult teeth begin to form?
When a baby is born they have 44 teeth in some stage of development. 20 are their baby teeth, and the other 24 are part of their adult dentition. During childhood the other 8 adult teeth form.
Reply:Well, the adult teeth start to form when the child is between 4-7 years old. When the baby tooth falls out then the adult tooth will start to push through. But it might take a while depending on how much pressure the baby tooth is pushed out. For example, if the baby tooth is punched out the adult tooth could take a up to a year to fully grow in.

My pediatric detist said I was born with week teeth and that some adult teeth grew in flakey, whats it mean?
I stopped going to him when i was 18 because he couldnt do anything for me as an adult, i wound up going to see one oral surgeon to have an adult tooth pulled because it was %26quot;bad%26quot;, Im now 22 and am having some trouble with my adult teeth and wisdom teeth they all tend to hurt me when i eat cold or hot foods and i somtimes think they are soft, i have a dental appointment with a new dentist and am worried he will think i have been taking poor care of my teeth when I was told my teeth were grown in in a crappy condition. Is flakey a real term, and is it possible to have all dental work done by an oral surgeon, like cavities and stuff i freak at the dentist.
My pediatric detist said I was born with week teeth and that some adult teeth grew in flakey, whats it mean?
I can%26#039;t really answer your question fully, but I do think you might want to check on the dangers of flouridation (tooth pastes and drinking water). You can type in flouride in any Search Engine search box and get to web sites with lots of interesting information. Flouride occurs naturally at an extremely low level in our environment, and in this natural form and in the low doses it is beneficial and easily assimilated by the body. But flouridation is a totally different kettle of fish.
I have always taken very good care of my teeth but am the victim of flouride pills throughout my early school years. My teeth have cuts and holes right through, which have become worse and worse over the years. I was told that within the next ten or so years I%26#039;ll probably not even be able to get any more fillings, as the drilling always takes a little more of my teeth. Then it%26#039;ll be dentures I suppose (poor me, granny).
Some dentists will reject the idea of flouride damage out of hand. Others have a much broader view, like my dentist in Germany, who had a very open mind and recognised my problem for what it was right away.
This may be a shot in the dark, but it never hurts to check.
Hot and cold pain can be caused by prolonged exposure of the nerves in the teeth. How about sweet or sour or salty?
Reply:To answer your question about the oral surgeon doing all your work the answer is no. They certainly know how to do it as they completed dental school just like a general dentist but continued their education to specialize in facial and head%26amp;neck surgeries only. There are many great dentists out there that can treat your problems and offer you a sedative for your dental anxiety. Some are even qualified to perform concious sedation. Just ask about it when you call to set an appt. You can request your records from your Pediatric Dentist and take them to the new one if you would like. As for the teeth being %26quot;flakey%26quot;, he probably used that term to make it easier to understand. What you have is likely a condition called hypocalcification which is not caused by flouride. Good luck.

When do adult teeth come in a childs mouth?
my baby is three, i was just wondering when i should expect him to get adult teeth pushing through? is it a set age ? etc
When do adult teeth come in a childs mouth?
At 5-6 years of age you will notice the 2 bottom front teeth pop through called the permanant mandibular central incisors and the 6yr molars also called the permanent first molars which erupt in all four quadrants of a child%26#039;s mouth (upper right, lower right, etc.) behind the last baby tooth in each quadrant called a 2nd year molar or a deciduous 2nd molar. Get sealants on the permanent molars as they erupt if no decay is present.

Reply:Around 5-6 I believe.
Reply:no set age..they are the teeth that come in after the first ones fall out.
Reply:Starting around kindergarten age,he will lose his teeth front to back for many years--through adolescence.
Reply:the first adult tooth to erupt into the mouth is called the %26quot;6-year molar.%26quot; It is so cleverly called this because it erupts predictably around the age of 6. The lower %26quot;6-year molars%26quot; come in first. After those, the eruption pattern is much more variable. The first adult molar will erupt behind your child%26#039;s last baby molars on both sides of the lower jaw. The lower and upper incisors will follow. Of course, your child has to loose his baby teeth during these eruptions.

Antibiotics hurt adult teeth in children?
Has anyone heard that Antibiotics as a child can hurt or weaken adult teeth?
If so do you have links to info on this?
Antibiotics hurt adult teeth in children?
To answer your question, there are no known antibiotics that will hurt or weaken a child%26#039;s teeth. However, side effects such as intrinsic staining (within teeth) can result from antibiotic such as tetracycline. These stains are not commonly found in children anyone since doctors are aware of the potential side effect. Also tetracycline will not effect teeth that are already erupted.
Reply:Tetracycline will. It makes your adult teeth darker. Look up side effects of tetracycline.
Reply:Only tetracycline antibiotic. When given to a child who is forming adult teeth it will cause a black, permanent stain on the child%26#039;s adult teeth. It doesn%26#039;t necessarily hurt or weaken the teeth, just causes a horrible stain. The stain is permanent and cannot be whitened. The only way to get rid of it is haveing veneers placed over.

4 Loose Adult Teeth?
I have a eleven-year-old daughter who has 4 loose adult teeth. They aren%26#039;t very loose but they do move slightly. Is there anything that I, or a dentist can do to prevent them from falling out?
4 Loose Adult Teeth?
Teeth all wiggle SOMEWHAT, if you look closely enough. An 11 year old will have teeth that are still erupting into the mouth. If you check those teeth, it is normal for them to be looser than the others. Just don%26#039;t keep checking it or you will cause problems. You say, %26quot;they aren%26#039;t very loose,%26quot; so I%26#039;m basing my answer on that information.

What makes adult teeth move?
1.The removal of one tooth. That causes the others to shift.
2. Drug abuse. This causes the teeth to rot and fall out, causing the shift in other teeth.
3. Decay. The rotting of teeth are dangerous and has many side effects. Heart disease and poisoning are just a few.
Reply:There%26#039;s really only one reason. Teeth will shift is there%26#039;s room for them to do so. Why there is room for them to shift is another question.

My top front 2 adult teeth are loose, What should i do???????
I%26#039;ve had braces for well over a year now, and about a month ago i noticed my front top 2 teeth were wiggling. i%26#039;m going to go to my orthadonist this friday just to get everything checked out, but i want to get feedback from some of you fellow guys just to make me know what im dealing with. I know this sounds ridiculous but im frightened im going to loose my front two adult teeth. Are my teeth going to strengthn or just stay like that for the rest of my life???? Thanks!!!!
My top front 2 adult teeth are loose, What should i do???????
i always think my teeth a loose. i have this weird thing about my teeth. for years i thought they were loose, but your roots are way long into your gums and into your head. if you move your teeth with your finger, your tooth int moving its actually the fat in your finger moving, but you think its your tooth.
plus Ive been saying my teeth are loose for over 5 years no9w and they haven%26#039;t fall-in out yet!
Reply:Definitely ask the orthodontist about this. Depends on how much they are wiggling. they may needed to be splinted (glued together with wire) for a time...depends on the serverity again.

Does dental fluorosis in milk teeth continue to adult teeth?
My daughter is nearly three years old. We brush her teeth every night as part of her bed-time routine with a pea-sized amount of Colgate %26quot;Smiles%26quot; toothpaste for 2-6 yr olds. She likes brushing her teeth and does it enthusiastically with me supervising, and then I usually %26quot;finish off%26quot; for her - that is, brush all the bits that she%26#039;s missed or barely touched.
I%26#039;ve noticed over the last week that the top of her front, top teeth (the part nearest the gum) is starting to look mottled and yellowed. I%26#039;m wondering if this could be dental fluorosis? We live in an area with fluoridated water, and try as I might, I simply cannot stop my daughter from sucking the toothpaste off the brush, so I%26#039;m concerned her fluoride intake might be higher than recommended levels.
I%26#039;m aware that if it IS dental fluorosis it%26#039;s irreversible, but of course, these are only her baby teeth. My question is, when she gets her adult teeth through in 3 years or so, will they also be damaged?
Does dental fluorosis in milk teeth continue to adult teeth?
Fluoride can and does affect adult teeth as they are forming. It makes them much more resistant to dental decay.
Whether or not the adult teeth are being affected to the point they are developing fluorosis is difficult to say. Your dentist should be able to advise you better as to whether too much fluoride is beig taken in.
I understand your concerns. I myself used to be a dentist and my daughters milk teeth came early and her front incisor adult teeth ame through when she was only three and a half - early (most kids don%26#039;t get adult front teeth until around 6).
The front adult teeth are developing from the age of about 6 months,( if I remember correctly). This is the time that they are most susceptible to getting fluorosis - ie when developing rater than in the mouth. Whilst the mottling that comes with fluorsis can%26#039;t be %26quot;cured%26quot; there are treatment options available - not all of which are expensive, and most involve minimal use of the drill.
I really would be a bore and advise you to take your daughter along to see your dentist so that he can make a diagnosis as to what the marks on your daughter%26#039;s teeth are. The marks could have been caused by any number of thing s from a fall, to childhood illness or even your health during pregnancy and breast-feeding.
Good luck and hope you get some peace of mind.
Reply:This really sounds like something you need to ask your dentist and have checked out by him or her so you can know exactly what it is, how it needs to be treated, and have all your questions answered. If you are looking for quick answers, you might try webmd.com. Good luck, and I hope it%26#039;s nothing serious.
Reply:It sounds like your daughter%26#039;s hygiene routine is on the mark. The paste that you are using and the amount is appropriate along with your brushing as well (you should brush all of them and do this until at least age 7 due to lack of dexterity and (sometimes) interest on their part).
I think what you are seeing is probably plaque buildup and would suggest that you rub a toothpick gently at these areas to see if it is soft debris. Even as a hygienist I will do this with my son. I brush with him and even use my electric toothbrush with him on low speed. He loves it! Kids always love to suck the toothbrush so don%26#039;t beat yourself up about it!
Other issues to consider - is she drinking fluoridated juices or water regularly, is she taking a fluoride supplement? If the answers are no it is unlikely that she will have fluorosis on the adult teeth. Fluorosis on baby teeth does not mean it will be present in the adult dentition. Sometimes white spotting of the teeth can be caused by other issues, like trauma of a baby tooth causing damage to the adult tooth bud.
Hope that helps!

Would my puppy's baby teeth fall out as the adult teeth settle in?
I have a maltese-shih tzu mix puppy that%26#039;s about 4 months old and I found out recently that he%26#039;s adult teeth are growing in. His adult teeth are growing behind the two front baby teeth and I%26#039;m worried that the baby teeth might not fall out in time and cause a huge problem later on. I think it might be wiggling right now but I am not sure of that either. Is it too early to worry?

I%26#039;ve had three shih tzus. The first two lost their baby teeth when the permanent ones came in. The third shih tzu decided to be different. Her baby teeth did NOT fall out. It didn%26#039;t cause her any problems but I was afraid that there would be too much crowding in her little mouth and that it would cause dental problems in the future. I just had the vet pull the baby teeth when I had her spayed. The vet says that while it is pretty rare, some of the smaller breeds do retain their baby teeth when the adult ones come in. It%26#039;s not a big deal to have them pulled.
Reply:Puppy teeth start falling out approx 14-16 weeks of age, and are replaced by adult teeth.. This can take many months til they are all replaced by adult teeth.
Reply:They probably will,but you may want to call your vet.Get a professional opinion.
Reply:If his baby teeth don%26#039;t fall out properly, the vet will want to take them out when he gets neutered in 2 months. Next time you%26#039;re in for his shots, have the vet take a look. He should be having his last round of vaccs any day now, no?
Reply:give him some help...try and wiggle out the teeth. i let my chihuahua%26#039;s just grow in [her baby teeth fell out], but now she has crooked teeth in the front. my poor baby. it%26#039;s kinda cute though, makes her look mean...for a chihuahua. lol.
Reply:You want to consult your vet on this. They may need to do some extractions if the teeth don%26#039;t fall out on their own within the next few months.
Reply:Yes they will fall out all on thier own. We would randomly hear a %26quot;clink%26quot; on the kitchen floor and the puppy would be looking down trying to lick up the tooth. Just make sure you get them from the dog before they swallow them. And yes, 4 months is too early to worry about that. Ours didn%26#039;t fall out until I would say 5-6 months.
Reply:Most of the time they do fall out, but some need to be pulled.
Reply:Most puppies and kittens have a full set of adult teeth by 6 months of age. I wouldn%26#039;t worry until then. If at 6 months of age, he still had deciduous (baby) teeth crowding his adult teeth, the Vet can pull them @ the same time he is neutered. There is usually a additional fee (approx $15-$35) per tooth. If left intact, they can cause problems later on, so if they don%26#039;t fall out on their own, you definitely will want to have them pulled. This is not uncommon and nothing to be alarmed about.
Reply:with small dogs not all of the baby teeth come out on their own, I went to show a 6 month old havanese and found 4 double sets of teeth, he had them all pulled the next week- talking to breeders of other small breeds they find this all the time. So give your pup something semihard to chew on, keep an eye on those stubborn teeth and if they are still there in a month, not moving, see the vet.
Reply:the baby teeth should fall out when the adult teeth grow in. but it is still too early to tell. if you think it will be a problem, go to the vet and they will remove them. dogs teeth are not connected to roots so it is not the same as a dentist pulling our teeth.
Reply:It%26#039;s not too big of a deal. The same thing happened with my brussels griffon. For a while he looked like a shark with 2 sets of teeth in some places. They eventually fell out when he chewed on bones. Give your dog some dental bones, they help. One of two toow almost a year to fall out but they eventually did. The vet wanted to charge me all of this money to pull his baby teeth but they really pose no threat, and they do eventually fall out.
Reply:take your dog to the vet sometime they need to have the baby teeth pulled . I know that my male chihuahua had to have one baby tooth pulled and the root on that sucker was huge and the vet told me that it is not uncommon for some breeds to have to have their baby teeth pulled . good luck .

My teeth have been yellow since i had adult teeth, HELP?
my teeth were white when they were baby teeth, however when my adult teeth came in they were yellow, my doctor told me it might because of medicine during an early age, does any of those whitening products work for me? strips, mouthwash, toothpaste? how bout those hydrogen peroxide and baking soda stuff? or should i just go straight to the dentist do those laser whitening? thanks a bunch!
My teeth have been yellow since i had adult teeth, HELP?
Yellow teeth are caused by a number of things. Smoking is one, drinking a lot of coffee is another and having too much calcium in your diet can cause your teeth to yellow. I would start with the cheapest solutions first and then work your way up to professional treatments. First get the whitening toothpaste and try the whitening strips. If over a two month period of time that doesn%26#039;t make a noticeable difference move up to professional laser treatment or you may even want to consider verniers. Verniers are porcelain caps that go over your teeth. Those can be expensive but totally worth it in the end for your teeth will appear to very white and perfectly straight. It is what all the movie stars have. Washing your mouth out with Hydrogen Peroxide while perfectly safe if you use it too much it will actually start weaking the enamal on your teeth. You can use the Hydrogen Peroxide say once a week but, no more than that. But, start cheap for sure and see what happens. If not then go and get the laser treatments or splurge and go for the Verniers. Ok, I hope this helps and keep on smiling.
Reply:I use the mouthwash
The results aren%26#039;t perfect for me. My lower front teeth seem to be permanently discolored.
Reply:try the laser whitening it is immediate and you know it will work for sure.
Reply:try these products first and get back to us
Reply:get it whitened!! or maybe you just have to brush your teeth often!
Reply:go to the doctor and get them done
so you don%26#039;t have to wait for the results :D
Reply:Here are many ways that you can whitening your teeth!
For home remedies.
Mix baking soda and hydrogen peroxide to form toothpaste. Brush the teeth regularly with this paste. It will remove all stains in a month.
Use bicarbonate of soda 5 minutes before brushing the teeth with normal toothpaste in the morning. This is a good home remedy for teeth whitening.
Rubbing the bark of walnut tree on the teeth helps in removing all stains from the teeth.
Strawberries are considered natural teeth whiteners. Rubbing the teeth with strawberries daily will remove all the stains.
If you would like a suggestion on tooth whitening gel, here%26#039;s something for you!
Crest Night Effects Whitening Gel (about $18.00) allows you to remove stains while you sleep. The tooth whitening system has a fresh, wintergreen flavor. After fourteen days of sleeping with this product on your teeth, you will wake up to a vibrant smile. You should see results in two days, although there are reports of tooth whitening results in one night

One of my adult teeth are loss!!?
One of my teeth in front is loss and its an adult tooth!I think its because i keep messing around with it but its like a habit!My mom keeps telling me to stop wiggling my tooth but i cant!Its only a tiny bit loss but i dont want to loss it,im only 14!I dont know what to do!
One of my adult teeth are loss!!?
Leave it alone. You may want to try using baking soda on it. It always helped my mom. Just pack a little soda around the tooth gently. Just until you see a dentist. Brush gently and use a good fluoride toothpaste.
Reply:leave it alone and go talk to your dentest about it. Or maybe even a doctor. Mabey you have a mental disorder and its a nervous tendency.
Reply:Try to figure out why u do it and when you do it what are you thinking of?That might make you nervous.At your next dentist appointment the dentist will put that stuff that strengthens your teeth on. its the stuff that makes u no eat or drink for an hour.I think it might make that tooth stuck in more but im not sure. Hope i helped!!!
Reply:Do not mess with it, But if it does fall out immidietaly stick it back in were it goes in your mouth ( sounds grose ) and rush to a dentist, if you can, get a root conail ( no idea how to spell ) and it will tighten your tooth so it wont be lose , and it will most likely life again! DONT FORGET if it falls out stick it back were it belongs , if it touches the ground dip in Milk!
Reply:I had a tooth that felt loose for a little while and my dentist told me that it was no big deal. He said just be a little more gentle when brushing and DONT wiggle it, LOL! Another thing that could be causing or adding to the problem is any sort of plaque build up or bacteria. Use mouthwash regularly and brush genlty like I said...
AND STOP WIGGLING UR TOOTH :-)
Reply:a loose tooth could be a sign of bone loss in the bone that holds the tooth in place -- you might want to have the dentist take an x-ray to see if this is the case. if you lose too much bone around the tooth, it will eventually fall out. try to leave it alone until you can see a dentist; a small amount of movement on teeth is normal, but a lot of movement could be signs of a problem.
Reply:Probly should get it looked at soon. I had that too when I was 14 but it was all of my front teeth. I never said nothin cuz I thought it would just go away but it got worse instead. I couldn%26#039;t stop messing with mine either and the looser they got the more I kept wiggling them. I know it was only making them looser faster but I just couldn%26#039;t help it. I would catch myself wiggling them when I was watching TV or doing homework or whatever. Anyway, finally a couple of my front teeth came out and I ended up losing them all cuz I had bone loss around my teeth. I didn%26#039;t even know it. I mean everything looked ok to me, but the dentist told me and my mom that it was too late to save my teeth and they all had to go so now I don%26#039;t have any. I%26#039;m saving up to get some fasle teeth now. Oh BTW I%26#039;m 16 so don%26#039;t think it can%26#039;t happen cuz you%26#039;re young. That%26#039;s what I thought too.

I think I have a loose adult tooth or teeth?
I%26#039;m 14 turning 15 now and I think I have all adult teeth. About a few days ago my tooth was feeling funny. My dentist appointment isn%26#039;t until this upcoming March. I%26#039;m also a girl, which means no boy will want me if I have teeth missing. Not cute at all. I also brush my teeth every night. Everytime I bite something my teeth hurts.
Are there any procedures to import the tooth back in the place it fell out? Have all my baby teeth come out? Does this happen to some teens? Is this part of puberty? Please tell me. I hopt I don%26#039;t have cavities. I don%26#039;t eat that much junk or anything.
I think I have a loose adult tooth or teeth?
It could be several things! If the tooth is not loose, it probably isn%26#039;t coming out. Try to wiggle it a little. If it doesn%26#039;t budge, you probably aren%26#039;t about to loose it. I can%26#039;t tell you if you%26#039;ve lost all your baby teeth or not. It may be a cavity if it hurts when you bite down. You could be biting too hard! This is not a part of puberty! Should the tooth fall out, there are several options to replace it, but I really don%26#039;t think this is what%26#039;s going on here. Set up a dentist appointment and see have him take a look at it. In the mean time, don%26#039;t eat on that side of your mouth!
Reply:where is the tooth? is it in the front, back, side, top or bottom. That has a lot to do with it...Teeth move and grow and that can have an overall effect on your teeth...Wiggle it to see if it moves...If its loose it will have to be extracted and you will get a partial or an implant...what is your family history? Ask your family if they have ever experienced the same thing - it may be genetic. Call your dental office and explain that you have an emergency and your appt is not until march and they can refer you to an associated dentist..
Reply:It could be a baby tooth. Some people retain baby teeth later than others and don%26#039;t always know it. Don%26#039;t worry, I have never seen anyone lose an adult tooth b/c it became loose unless it has a large hole/cavity. If it is hurting, call and see if they can get you in sooner to check the tooth.

My front adult teeth are a bit wiggly. is that normal?
my front adult teeth are wiggly. is that normal? m getting braces within a year,and do not have my wisdom teeth yet.
My front adult teeth are a bit wiggly. is that normal?
All of our teeth are (very slightly) wiggly. If your front teeth are more wiggly than any other teeth in front of your mouth, then I would say that that%26#039;s not normal at all. You should definitely go see visit your dentist about that. I%26#039;m guessing that your teeth are moving too quickly in your mouth.
Reply:No, it is not normal. You should go to the dentist and have them checked.
Reply:Mine were off and on for a while. I think you%26#039;ll be fine. Teeth adjust in your mouth a lot so they will be wiggly once and a while!
Reply:HELLO,
IN HEALTHY ADULT TEETH THERE IS SUPPOSED TO BE A VERY SLIGHT MOVEMENT. THIS IS NORMAL. IF YOUR ORTHODNTIST KNEW YOU HAD GUM DISEASE WITH VERY, VERY WIGGLY TEETH YOU WOULDN%26#039;T HAVE BRACES....
Reply:Gum Disease is the major cause of loose teeth.
The gums and supporting bone are destroyed.
Loose teeth and receding gums are a symptom of gum disease.
However I had braces back in the day and my teeth still move ever so slightly.
Please see your dentist for a checkup

How loose can adult teeth get before they can't be saved?
My cousin is 13 years old and she has quite a few loose teeth mostly in front. She has all of her adult teeth and she said she noticed they were a little loose about 6 months ago but she keeps messing with them and wiggling them with her fingers and her tongue. I told her to quit messing with them or they%26#039;ll get so loose they%26#039;ll be falling out, but she don%26#039;t believe me and won%26#039;t listen. Her mom keeps telling her to leave them alone too but she won%26#039;t. Now some are so loose they move a couple mm%26#039;s with just a little tongue pressure. Her mom told her if her she ruins her teeth and they fall out she%26#039;ll just have to go toothless but it doesn%26#039;t seem to be sinking in. How loose can her teeth get before they can%26#039;t be saved? Is she headed for dentures already at her age?
How loose can adult teeth get before they can%26#039;t be saved?
OMG, tell her to get to a dentist quick!! AND quit fiddling with her loose teeth it will only make them looser faster. It might not be too late to save at least some of her teeth. Something like that happened to me and I didn%26#039;t think anyting of it at first cuz they were only a little loose and I figured it would go away on its own. It didn%26#039;t and my teeth kept getting looser then my front teeth started falling out and I ended up losing all my teeth. She%26#039;s pretty young to be havin that happen but if they%26#039;re that loose she%26#039;s probly gonna start losin them real soon.
Reply:She should be going to the dentist every six months. A dentist can answer that question. If her parents don%26#039;t care that she%26#039;ll loose her teeth, I seriously don%26#039;t think they will go to the expense of dentures. It%26#039;s a shame when parents don%26#039;t take care of their children%26#039;s teeth.
Reply:Hopefully these are baby teeth. But if they are not, she needs to see a dentist ASAP. I have never heard of someone as young as 13 having loose teeth, being adult teeth. One of the reasons that could cause this is bad oral hygiene. Meaning, if shes not brushing/flossing and getting her teeth cleaned every 6 months, she could have some kind of gum disease. Which in the later stages causes bone loss, and therefore your teeth get loose because the root of the tooth has nothing to hold on to. I would ask her if her gums bleed or ever hurt her as well. Please tell her to get to a dentist, because once you have gum disease (with bone loss) or loose teeth, there is no way to reverse it. Good Luck!
Reply:If her teeth are loose they are eventually going to fall out. There is nothing that could fix loose teeth. You have to floss and brush your teeth every day and see a dentist every six months or this is what happens. She probably will be forced to wear dentures before too long if it is as serious as you say.
Reply:I%26#039;m not a dentist but it sounds like she should start getting used to the idea of gumming her food. If her teeth are that loose for as long as you say they%26#039;re proabaly going to fall out or have to be pulled out before very long. If she keeps moving them around they%26#039;ll never tighten up if it%26#039;s even possible they could. She%26#039;ll probably be toothless or wearing dentures before very long I%26#039;m afraid.
Reply:well, at 13 she should have all of her adult teeth. as for them being loose, roots develope slowly after the crown part of the tooth. if she keeps bothering them, she could cause resortption of the developing structure and cause permanent damage. have you taken her to the family dentist about this? she first needs to have them examined and xrayed,. they may recommend some form of orthodontics (braces) to stabalize the teeth until all is developed. there are bars that can be cemented on the tongue side of teeth (no one can see them this way) to stabalize teeth. another concern is the rare occurance of childhood periodontal disease, it is rare but without seeing her, i cant say for sure. just take her to the dentist.
Reply:I don%26#039;t know if its too late to save them or not but it sounds bad to me. If her teeth move that much so easy it%26#039;s probly too late to save them. What happened? She get hit in the mouth, or just not take care of her teeth or what? No matter what happened I think she won%26#039;t have to worry about them much longer cuz they%26#039;ll be falling out. Even if she gets to a dentist quick there might not be too much they could do to save them that would really work. Like they say, %26quot;No garantees%26quot;.

She/or you, need to read this. I am an adult with two loose teeth that are almost back to being totally tight, and I have only used this for a little over 2 months. It is hard not to mess with your teeth when they are loose! Be glad it is not you........

How loose can adult teeth get before they can%26#039;t be saved?
OMG, tell her to get to a dentist quick!! AND quit fiddling with her loose teeth it will only make them looser faster. It might not be too late to save at least some of her teeth. Something like that happened to me and I didn%26#039;t think anyting of it at first cuz they were only a little loose and I figured it would go away on its own. It didn%26#039;t and my teeth kept getting looser then my front teeth started falling out and I ended up losing all my teeth. She%26#039;s pretty young to be havin that happen but if they%26#039;re that loose she%26#039;s probly gonna start losin them real soon.
Reply:She should be going to the dentist every six months. A dentist can answer that question. If her parents don%26#039;t care that she%26#039;ll loose her teeth, I seriously don%26#039;t think they will go to the expense of dentures. It%26#039;s a shame when parents don%26#039;t take care of their children%26#039;s teeth.
Reply:Hopefully these are baby teeth. But if they are not, she needs to see a dentist ASAP. I have never heard of someone as young as 13 having loose teeth, being adult teeth. One of the reasons that could cause this is bad oral hygiene. Meaning, if shes not brushing/flossing and getting her teeth cleaned every 6 months, she could have some kind of gum disease. Which in the later stages causes bone loss, and therefore your teeth get loose because the root of the tooth has nothing to hold on to. I would ask her if her gums bleed or ever hurt her as well. Please tell her to get to a dentist, because once you have gum disease (with bone loss) or loose teeth, there is no way to reverse it. Good Luck!
Reply:If her teeth are loose they are eventually going to fall out. There is nothing that could fix loose teeth. You have to floss and brush your teeth every day and see a dentist every six months or this is what happens. She probably will be forced to wear dentures before too long if it is as serious as you say.
Reply:I%26#039;m not a dentist but it sounds like she should start getting used to the idea of gumming her food. If her teeth are that loose for as long as you say they%26#039;re proabaly going to fall out or have to be pulled out before very long. If she keeps moving them around they%26#039;ll never tighten up if it%26#039;s even possible they could. She%26#039;ll probably be toothless or wearing dentures before very long I%26#039;m afraid.

My son's adult teeth are coming in and one of his baby teeth is still there.?
I%26#039;ve spoken with his dentist in January, he said keep wiggling it. Well, we have and it hasn%26#039;t loosened at all!! It is now March and his adult tooth is almost fully in and crooked because the baby tooth is in the way. She told us not to worry that the tongue would push it into place....are you kidding? If that were true noone should have crooked front teeth then... HELP!
My son%26#039;s adult teeth are coming in and one of his baby teeth is still there.?
I had this exact same thing happen to me and my bottom, front four teeth are all malpositioned. It doesn%26#039;t bother me because they aren%26#039;t that crooked, but most people in this day and age will want/need orthodontics to correct them.
Your dentist isn%26#039;t entirely wrong..your tongue can help shift teeth after a period of time (just like braces) but I wouldn%26#039;t think they%26#039;d be shifted completely straight by the tongue.
Reply:This happened to me as a child as well. My dentist had to pull a couple of my baby teeth because they wouldn%26#039;t just come out. I would maybe see a different dentist, just to get a second opinion.
Reply:need find new dent
Reply:You should take him to an oral surgeon for those primary teeth to be extracted. They are affecting the way his adult teeth are positioning. He will most likely need braces if this is not corrected.
Reply:Your dentist should have pulled the baby tooth out when you seen his adult tooth was coming in. I would find another dentist and get it fixed right away.
