My mandibular canine is shifting a bit can you advice on it?

Thursday, October 8th, 2009
Q.
Hi Dr. Patel, I have a permanent retainer on my mandibular incisors for about 6 months now. Past 2 weeks I am noticing that my left mandibular canine is shifting a bit when my tongue puts slight pressure on it. This canine is the last tooth the retainer is attached to… I am worried about why this canine is not stable as my other teeth, and why is feels so loose. I am definelty not looking forward to letting my canine fall out… Like I said, you can’t see the canine moving, but I can feel it going back and forth… Is this something I should get checked right away? I am a dental hygiene student age 19

Thursday, October 8th, 2009
Q.
Hi, My 12 year old daughter is in the middle of her braces treatment. Her orthodontist noticed that she has 2 missing upper teeth (I think they are the premolars.) Now that her lower premolars are coming out, the orthodontist suggest that she has them removed. He said that number of teeth on her upper should be the same amount as her lower. I wonder if that’s true. Right now my daughter’s x-ray should that she has 2 bottom molars that have not come out yet but no sign for her other upper molars. She now has 10 teeth on the upper and 12 on her lower bridge. I’m worried that if I have the other 2 lower teeth removed she will not have enough teeth in the future! What is your opinion?

A.
If she is crowded then removal… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
