I Have A Young Son Who Has A Front Tooth Set To Come Through But The Gap Isn’t Big Enough. What Should I Do?

Thursday, October 3rd, 2013
Q.

My son is 9 years old. His front right tooth has not come through yet and he has had the left one for about a year now. You can see the lump in his gum where his tooth is. I’m worried it may never come through. There isn’t a enough room for it. Should he not have a brace to make space. When he had his baby teeth he had an extra tooth between his front tooth and incisor was on the same side. Should I be worried about this or given his age will it sort itself out in due time? I could really use some help with this.

Do I Really Need To Get A Bridge?

Friday, April 26th, 2013
Q.

Hello there – I wonder if you can help. I am 50+ and have always retained 2 of my “baby” teeth (at the upper front) One of these recently broke (I have it reattached temporarily) and I would prefer an implant as opposed to a bridge. I have been advised that the gap will be too small to accommodate an implant…..I have been to a cosmetic dentist in Nottingham for a 2nd opinion and he also is of this opinion……Do I really need to resort to having a bridge? I’m not too ken to be perfectly honest. I would rather just have an implant but I thought I would ask you as well, hope to hear from you soon.  Many thanks – Kind regards.
