I only have 10 permanent teeth The rest are baby teeth
Q. Hello, I only have 10 permanent teeth. The top front 6 and the front bottom 4. The rest are baby teeth… I have no wisdom teeth, one 12-year molar just commimg in & im 25 years old.. I simply have no permanent teeth under the baby teeth… My dentist is amazed of the condition of my baby teeth.. but I dont want dentures at 30. What do you suggest to keep my baby teeth from rotting??… will they rot??? When I was a teenager they put this nailpolish-like stuff on…but it came off quickly..and reminded me of having popcorn in my teeth. Are veneers a good idea? Thanks
A. Hi The baby teeth will stay in place if the permanent teeth are not underneath. I would recommend regular visits with your dentist, excellent oral hygiene and flouride toothpaste and mouthwash to strengthen the enamel. If they eventually become loose you could consider implants to replace the teeth instead of dentures.
