Im 22 and i still have a baby canine tooth what are the option to fix it and the cost?

Saturday, July 11th, 2009
Q.
Rob, I am 22 years old and still have a baby canine tooth on the bottom left side of my mouth. After visiting my dentist yesterday with my concerns that the baby tooth is wobbling and the gum is receding, I was told that the adult tooth is actually trying to push though. The adult tooth is now clearly visible underneath my baby tooth but is also coming in at an steep angle under my lateral incisor. I have been referred for treatment but am worried about what my options are and the cost? Thanks.

I didnt brush for 2 year and now the damage has been done how can i sort it out?

Saturday, July 11th, 2009
Q.
Hello. Ive had some really bad experiences with dentists in the past. My first dentist a liked to remove teeth for the fun of it (at the age of 5) and it terrified me. As my teeth grew back one of my front teeth started to grow outwards and as a result i had low confidence and couldn’t interact socially. At the age of 14 i went to an NHS dentist who fitted me with braces. I had them for 4 years he seemed to be fixing them but at the age of 18 he just said he wasn’t getting paid any more and thus just removed the brace and that was it. He left me with cement on my teeth and my tooth has come back out again. At the point i just gave in and stopped brushing. Didn’t brush them for 2 years and now the damage has been done. I’m so ashamed of them, i don’t and as a result have lost most of my friends. At this time i am 20 and am just scared to go and see any dentist because i have no trust in them any more. Can you give me any advice or a dentist that could give assurance that me teeth could be nice again. I do have a steady job and will pay anything to get them done, please help its a last resort. I look forward to hearing from you.
