My adult canines are squint and pointing at top front teeth is this a serious problem?

Wednesday, July 15th, 2009
Q.
Hi, I’m 15 years old and still have my top baby canines. Having recently been to the dentist, i was giving an X-ray to locate the adult canines. After looking at the X-ray we discovered that my adult canines are extremely squint and are pointing in the direction of my top front teeth. My dentist is reffering me to the Orthodontist to see what can be done about this. I was just wondering how serious this is, and how they would be planning to fix the problem? Could my dentist have stopped this happening by removing the baby canines before now?

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.

Our dentist has removed a healthy canine tooth from my 12 year old son can anything be done

Sunday, June 28th, 2009
Q.
I was horrified to find that our dentist removed a healthy canine tooth from my 12 year old son. He assured my husband that, although healthy, the tooth was a baby tooth, which was preventing the adult canine pushing through. However, the tooth pulled out was a second tooth and matched the second canine on the other side. The tooth pushing through is a large molar and I am seriously concerned that my son will now be left with a lopsided smile. Can anything be done to correct this error without resorting to implant.

I doubt very much that the den… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

I was mentioned that my 12 year old son has many baby teeth, should I be worried now?

Sunday, June 14th, 2009
Q.
My son’s dental staff made remarks to him that he still has “many” baby teeth for being 12. They also mentioned it to me, but didn’t provide clarification–just alarmed us both. So, when do I worry or do I? And if you have any insight about why a grownup professional would do this to a 12 year old kid, I’d like that, too. Thanks for your great site.

my boyfriend still has his baby teeth what can be done to coax it out and can it be done in NHS

Sunday, May 17th, 2009
Q.
Hi, I hope you can help. My boyfriend is 25 years old and still has many of his baby teeth in situ. He pulled out a shakey one about 2 months ago but the one underneath -although just poking through gum- has not grown out properly. What can be done to coax it out so that he has no gap? If it does not grow out with time, what treatments are available & are they available on the NHS? He would not want to pay thousands of pounds to fix the problem. Thank you very much Doctor.
