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

Alternatively or maybe in conjunction a veneer can be used to appear to allign the tooth. In your case it is unlikely that the baby tooth
