Does a tooth that is growing in affect a tooth that has a filling?
A new tooth should not affect a filled tooth. If the filled tooth is tbeing replaced it will just fall out and the new tooth takes its place. If the new tooth is adjacent to or opposite the filled tooth it has no effect.
Do dental plaque and tatar improve teeth and gums?
No, they do the opposite by encouraging gum disease and tooth decay.
What is the meaning of opposing arch in dentistry?
The opposite arch, or set of teeth. So for example if they say extract a first molar tooth on the upper arch but it may cause over-eruption of the opposing tooth in the opposing arch, it means the first molar tooth but in the lower arch.
How long does your teeth take to rot?
I'm thinking tooth paste will dry out. I don't think it can rot, I think you would be hard pressed to find a bacteria that can live in the base(opposite of acid) that tooth paste is.
Can I eat after tooth extraction?
You can definitely eat after a tooth extraction. You should eat liquid or very soft foods on the opposite side of the extraction.
Why is the lower milk tooth shaking but not yet fallen out?
The tooth no longer has a root. It has been dissolved by the permanent tooth which will replace it. The primary (milk, baby) tooth is only being held in place by the soft tissue (gum) attachment. Have the child place gentle finger pressure on the tooth in one direction and count slowly to ten. Then have them place gentle finger pressure in the opposite direction and again slowly count to ten. Repeat this process several times and soon the tooth will fall out. Have the child gently bite down on a folded damp piece of gauze over the lost tooth site for about 15-20 minutes to minimize the bleeding.

What is the singular possesive of tooth?
The singular possessive form of "tooth" is "tooth's."
Molars touch cusp to cusp?
Molars have projections that come off of them called cusps. The projections that are closer to the cheek on a top molar should contact no tooth structure, while the inside cusps should go between the cusps of the bottom tooth to rest in this pocket. The bottom tooth's cusps are just the opposite: the inside cusp touches no tooth structure while the cusps closer to the cheek go in between the cusps of the top tooth. When molars touch cusp to cusp, this causes strain on the mouth, along with the TMJ. This can lead to more severe problems in the future.
Will a 14 tooth freewheel replace an 18 tooth freewheel or is something different?
Ok- the question was will it fit and the answer is NO. A 18 tooth freewheel has standard threads and will fit most any freewheel threaded hub. With one exception, the standard freewheel hub can accept 16 tooth and larger freewheels.Sometimes a hub also has metric threads on the opposite side and will accommodate metric threaded freewheels which are available in sizes 13 through 15 tooth. Your 14 tooth freewheel is metric and will only fit hubs with a metric side on them. Such hubs are generally termed flip flop hubs because they can use both types of freewheels.
