All my 3 three teeth are stuck up in the gums what is the treatment required
Q. Hello Doctor, I am a 22 years old female. 3 of my milk tooth on the upper jaw( both canines and right 2nd bicuspid) never fell off. one canine was removed 4 -5 years back in the hope of the new one coming but it did not. now xray shows that all the 3 new teeth are stuck up in the gums. infact the new tooth for my left canine is gone far up next to the nostril. Please suggest what sort of treatment will it require for these new teeth to be brought down. Thanks!
A. Bringing these teeth back into the arch will be very difficult. You could consider replacing the teeth with dental implants if there is enough bone, with or without removal of the buried teeth. You could also consider a bridge or a removable denture- probably as a last resort. Andrew
