What are the negatives of keeping a baby tooth that doesn't have a permanent tooth coming in behind it when the person has braces on?

I used to have braces and faced the same problem. Instead of putting a bracket on that baby tooth, they justleave the wire that connects the brackets near the top of the tooth. After you lose the baby tooth and the new one growns in, a bracket will be glued on.


Can 5 year olds grow new teeth behind other teeth?

Yes, they can. It means the baby tooth hasn't been pulled out and the new one grew in it's place. Pull out the baby tooth(the one that came first) and later in life they might need braces.


What if your adult tooth is coming in behind your baby tooth and the baby tooth is not getting loose to pull?

This happened`with our six year old. Sometimes the adult teeth do not "attack" the root of the "baby" tooth and weaken it enough to make it fall out first. This is not an "emergency" but you should probably have the tooth looked at by a pediatric dentist. It is quite normal for the permanent tooth to appear slightly behind the baby tooth and slightly before the baby tooth is lost. If it is "wiggly", it probably won't make much difference whether the tooth is removed or allowed to come out on its own. The tongue does a good job of pushing the permanent tooth forward into position if there is adequate space. A lot depends on the amount of spacing among the baby teeth. Definitely ask your child's dentist about the "arch length" at your next visit. The biggest concern is that the new tooth will not have room to be properly placed. In situations like this, the baby tooth will have to be pulled. Sometimes the coexisting tooth will work out the baby tooth on its own. Some dentists will say to give it one to two months to see if the "baby" tooth works out on its own. One other thing though, ONLY in the lower front is it normal for the teeth to erupt behind. Anywhere else, if the permanent tooth hasn't come out, then the baby tooth may need some help. Basically, it is a judgment call for the dentist, and except in a few extreme cases, there is no "right" answer. To view a chart about teeth eruption, visit the Related Link. For an "answer" from a real dentist saying basically the same thing visit the Related Link.


What do you do if your adult tooth is grown in your mouth and half of the baby tooth is still hanging on to your gum its been hanging on for ages its not hurting but not coming out what do you do?

You can try wiggling the "baby tooth" (if it doesn't hurt to do so) until it is loose enough to come out - most baby teeth have very short roots. If this doesn't work you need to see a dentist, the remaining baby tooth will cause displacement and over crowding of your new permanent teeth.

When your daughter lost her baby tooth something was left behind what is it?

I don't remember the exact name of thing. But it might be that a fragment of tooth still remains in the gums. See your dentist as you need to get that fragment removed. Otherwise it will obstruct the progess of new teeth.


How do you grow new tooth in age 17?

You can not grow a new tooth. All your teeth are present at birth. Your first teeth come in while you are a baby but your second teeth are all ready there as small 'buds" ready to form and come in as you loose the first teeth. As you know, your last teeth do not come in until you are 17-20. Because they come in last and you are older, they are called wisdom teeth.


Is it lucky to lose your tooth on New Year's Day?

Only if you don't MAKE your tooth come out.


Is the root of your tooth supposed to come out when it's pulled?

Depends. If you are having a tooth extracted by a dentist, the root will be removed. If it is a baby tooth you are losing naturally, the roots will dissolve as the new tooth is coming up under the old tooth.


Can you get drysocket in a baby tooth after extraction?

Not usually because there is usually a permanent tooth right below it under the surface. A lot of times you can even see the new tooth. Dry sockets usually happen when there is a deep hole after an extraction of a permanent tooth.


Will human teeth reproduce?

No, unfortunately we are not like sharks, who continue to grow nice new teeth throughout their lives. If a tooth falls out of our mouths, we will have a gap there permanently unless we get a fake tooth. The only time a tooth falls out and gets replaced by a new tooth, is when our baby teeth begin to fall out during childhood.
