i am 23 years old and i still have several of my baby teeth?
Q. Hello. I am 23 years old and still have several of my baby teeth. My adult teeth do not appear to be coming in now and I do not have tender gums. I was just wondering if this is something to be concerned about, especially since I heard someone say that if you don’t lose your baby teeth and your adult teeth are underlying then it could later cause decay and blood poisoning. So I am very curious. Thanks for your time.
A. I have not come across blood poisoning due to retained baby teeth. More usually the problem is that when the baby teeth eventually drop out ( as they are designed to do) You are left with a gap. A good way to manage this is often a dental implant , guide price £2000-2,500
Initially I would take an Xray to find out if the replacement adult teeth are buried or missing, then plan for future replacement as.necessary.
