My son doesn’t have any canine teeth, why is this?

Wednesday, July 21st, 2010
Q.
My son is 9, and lost his primary teeth early, and had his adult teeth in very early also. I have just noticed this evening that while he is 12 lower jaw teeth, all the right ones, in his upper jaw, there are no canines on either side, and no room for them as his pre-molars are right next to his incisors. Why has he no canine teeth, and why haven’t the various dentists he’s seen over the years noticed or said anything about this? He has special needs, and could this be any sort of congenital or chromosomal abnormality? I’m worried!,

My daughter’s adult teeth aren’t coming through yet, should I be concerned about this?

Tuesday, July 6th, 2010
Q.
My daughter lost her first baby teeth at 4.5 years old. None of her adult teeth have replaced them very quickly. She lost her two front baby teeth two years ago. One adult one has grown fine, but the other one took a year before it started to come through and then stopped growing! It is about half the size of her other adult tooth. I have mentioned it to two dentists who do not seem overly concerned, but it doesn’t feel right!! She has lost both teeth either side (some time ago) and no signs of them growing either. Am I worrying for nothing or should I seek a third opinion? thanks,

My girlfriends adult teeth are still not through at the age of 22, please help!

Thursday, March 25th, 2010
Q.
Hi Rob, This is about my girlfriend. She is 22 1/2 and has no adult teeth although she understands they are in there waiting to erupt. Her baby teeth are gradually eroding and cause her regular pain. She is terrified of all things medical, doctors and dentists especially needles, and has steadfastly refused to allow me to take her for treatment. However, during the last couple of days she has suffered from what we think is an abcess on her lower right jaw which is about 3 teeth long and as high as the tooth. The pain from this appears to be persuading her to consider doing something about it. She is a really attractive girl apart from her teeth and as a result she never smiles with her mouth showing her teeth. This fear is a long standing fear and is genuine. I seem to have now convinced her (with the aid of the pain) to at least have a consultation to establish the options. She tells me that in the past dentists have expressed interest in her condition since it is so rare. If you feel up to a challenge I will give it my best shot to support you and her. .,

Can I get implants for missing teeth due to baby teeth?

Friday, February 26th, 2010
Q.
My dentist tells me that i have still alot of baby teeth and this is the reason why i have lost several teeth in the past due to the fact they are not as robust as adult teeth, he gave the correct name for this problem but i cannot remember it! Any how i want implants to replace the teeth that i have lost and the two which are due to lose because they are on their last legs so to speak. Most of the missing teeth are back and upper molars, is this the best option and what is the correct name for the problem that i have,

Anything be done about tooth decay due to prolonged breastfeeding?

Thursday, February 25th, 2010
Q.
My 3 year old son has decay which our dentist has said is due to prolonged night time breastfeeding. His front top teeth look terrible and the dentist has said our only options are extraction or leaving the teath to go black!. We feel that there must be an alternative that will not leave him facing horrible comments from other children. We do not have a great deal of money but would like to find out all our options. Thank you.,
