My one year old fell and chipped his tooth, what should I do?

Friday, June 17th, 2011
Q.

Hi! My son is 20 months old. He fell and chipped his 2 front teeth on Friday night. I consulted a pediatric dentist the next day. He didn’t file it as he thought it may traumatize my kid & recommended to return on Monday for the filing. He also prescribed an anti-biotic so that the teeth does not discolor, for which he says he’d have to do a root canal(!). I was wondering if the anti-biotic is actually necessary and whether my son would really need a root canal if the teeth discolors after some time.

Would appreciate a quick response.

Can you tell me why my daughter’s milk tooth isn’t coming through yet?

Friday, March 11th, 2011
Q.

My 7 year old daughter lost both her top front teeth in the same week about 4 months ago,one has grown in almost fully but there is no sign of the other one. This milk tooth was knocked backwards about 12 months prior to it falling out although I immediately put it back into position and it never discoloured I am worried it has caused a problem with her adult tooth. She is also missing a top canine which fell out around the same time. All her milk teeth grew in at the right times and her teeth started falling out at an appropriate age. Is it likely ti still appear

Thursday, February 17th, 2011
Q.

Hi, im 14years old and went to the orthodontist today. They told me I have 7teeth missing in my mouth which have NEVER grown in! I also have a gap inbetween my two front teeth. i want braces but they said because i still have 7 baby teeth also that when they fall out there will be no teeth to grow in because on the X-RAY it showed that, so the gap would be to big to close! please help! theve told me im due to go to a hospital in 8weeks, but thats so far and what are they going to do?!

My 2 year old’s back teeth haven’t come through, is this a problem?

Friday, January 28th, 2011
Q.

Hello,

I have a 2 yr old daughter,all her teeth have nearly come through but not the back ones.

The teeth at the bottom are positioned in front of the top ones,but she doesnt look to have her chin sticking out.

Also the top teeth are on a slant and the top tooth line is uneven as a result.

It doesnt bother her when eating,but id like to know what to expect in the future in terms of what could happen with the 2nd teeth and will she need a brace and the uneven top teeth.

Many Thanks

I am 23 years old and still have milk teeth, I am worried, what should I do?

Thursday, January 27th, 2011
Q.

Dear Sunita,

I’m 23 and I still have two milk teeth near the front of my mouth, I read your answer in response to a previous question regarding hypodontia and was wondering if I fall into this category?

Also, with only two milk teeth would I be entitled to dental implants on the NHS? The reason I ask is that one tooth is beginning to feel uncomfortable and as if it is escaping from the gum line, this is also making the upper teeth catch on it and I am very worried to bite on this tooth in case it just falls out!

My dentist has mentioned these milk teeth to me on many occasions and when I ask him what my options are, his answer is always the same ‘they may fall out in your 20s or your 50s, you will lose them eventually’. However my dentist has never mentioned the possibility of implants, even though I have mentioned the problems I have with them to him. Should I start looking for a new dentist? The issue is really depressing and is really affecting my life.

Thank you in advance for your answer!
