My baby tooth is coming loose and there isn’t an adult tooth underneath it.

Monday, July 11th, 2011
Q.

I was born without a canine adult tooth and my baby one is coming very loose now i’m nineteen. Soon i’ll have to get a replacement, I was wondering how expensive this would be and is there anything that covers not being born without an adult tooth?? My parents think it’ll cost thousands and refuse to pay for it and I cant afford the implant myself. I’ve read abit about bridges too but it says they wouldnt help prevent bone loss. What would be the best thing for me to do?

Can I have an Inman Aligner to straighten both adult and baby-type teeth?

Monday, April 11th, 2011
Q.

Dear Dr Moore,

I was just wondering if treatments like the Inman Aligner are applicable when you’ve still got baby teeth? I had a small operation a few years ago to remove an adult canine which never came through; consequently I’ve still got the original baby tooth sat in its place. I’m assuming I’d have to have that removed but do you think they would they be able to close the gap or put in a bridge or something?

Thanks in advance.

My daughter knocked her tooth out, is there anything we can do?

Monday, April 4th, 2011
Q.

I have atwo year old daughter who has just knocked out one of her upper front teeth. we have seen our dentidst who has said that there is nothing that can be done and asdditionally he feels that the adults toothe may not form properly or at all. I therefore have two questions:

1. Is there anything cosmetic we can do until my daughter’s adult teeth form?
2. If her adult teeth do not form then what cosmetic treatments would be available as she grows up ie. would we have to wait until she was a teenager or can we do things every couple of years from 6-12?

My daughter is worried about the dentist, could she be sedated?

Wednesday, March 16th, 2011
Q.

my daughter had a recent check up and was told that she had a root coming through her gum from a old tooth, it was very visable the dentist asked if we would like it removed or wanted to have a go ourselves, shes 9 years old and i thought he was joking, i asked for it to be removed and waited three weeks for a appointment, my daughter has adhd and can get easly upset and frightened and as soon as she saw the needle she started crying, she was told okay your done with your crocodile tears you can go, i asked whats next they said nothing. I have looked at this root and she has broken some off, it is now going brown and she has already had an infection. I need to know where to go to have it out and can she be put to sleep.thanks

I still have a baby tooth, how could I improve its appearance?

Tuesday, March 8th, 2011
Q.

Hi,

I still have a baby tooth and would like information on cosmetic procedures available to improve the appearance of this. I don’t like the idea of braces, so would ideally prefer a crown or a cap. Is this possible? Also, the gum area around this tooth is slightly lower than my other teeth, so is this something that you would be able to rectify?

Many Thanks
