I have a 15 month old who has not gotten her first tooth yet. Is this normal? Should I be concerned? You can see the imprint of the teeth below the gum and she has on several occasions appeared to be teething but none have broken thru yet. (answer)
My daughter just turned 5. Today she informed us she has a loose tooth. Sure enough, there is a loose tooth. She hasn't fallen or done anything that we could tell that would prompt this loose tooth. To my wife and myself, this seems a bit early for her to get her 1st loose tooth naturally. Is it? Can she be really starting to lose her baby teeth already? (answer)
My 3 year old has an abcess, he is on Amoxcillin 250MG.. does it need draining? (answer)
My 4 1/2 year old grandson fell and knocked out his front tooth and chipped his other one Friday. Is it necessary to get it checked out by a dentist? (answer)
I am concerned about my two year old's teeth and I am also apprehensive about pediatric dentists because I have had bad experiences with my other children. My daughter has brown spots in four of her top teeth and in two of them she has small holes. Is there a possibility of her getting flouride treatments? (answer)
My daughter is 6 yrs old and on her 1st trip to the dentist he took xrays and said that she will most likely need braces. I have heard that early extraction of the baby teeth would prevent braces is this true? (answer)
My daughter has a tooth on the bottom that is very loose. I think they refer to it as the stomach tooth. Is she supposed to lose this tooth? And if she does lose it, will it cause problems down the road? (answer)
My 8 year old just lost his second tooth. It's the top front tooth and it is hollow inside and there is a piece of yucky looking thick skin stuff hanging where the tooth was. Sorry, I know that sounds discusting. The two front teeth are brownish in color and don't appear to be very healthy. Should I be concerned? (answer)
I'm inquiring regarding my 8 yr old daughter Ciara. She has brown discoloration on her front teeth. I've been to two dentists. They claim I need to wait until she's older to either bleach or have veneers. Please help! She's a beautiful little girl and I need to help her. It takes away from her beauty. (answer)
I have a 7 yr old grand daughter who grinds her teeth really bad in her sleep. What can I do to prevent this? Do I need to take her to a dentist? (answer)
The 5 and a half year old daughter of my friend is suffering tooth pain. The dentist told my friend that she has to perform oral surgery to remove all of the teeth, otherwise the root condition right now could damage the secondary teeth before they come out. Since this is something big for a small child, is that the only way she has to go through the pain? (answer)
My 9 month old son has his first four teeth in, but recently I found a fifth -- behind the front bottom two close to where his tongue attaches to the bottom of his mouth. What should I expect when I take him in? Will the dentist want to pull it, or leave it alone? Do you have any advice? (answer)
My daughter went to dentist about 3 weeks ago and where the dentist probably put a shot of novacaine now is a big round protruding blister like sore. When I put a Q-tip on it a little blood and pus appeared. It's slightly sore. Is there a home remedy or should I call the dentist on a Sunday? It actually looks like a tooth coming in on her upper gum. (answer)
My son is ten years old. His adult teeth are coming in crooked and many of his baby teeth are still in. Should they be removed? My dentist says to wait until they come out on their own. How long should I wait? Should all baby teeth be removed now? (answer)
What are the risks involved with sedation? My 4 1/2 year old daughter needs to have some dental work done and the Dentist is requiring she be sedated (IV) for the visit. Is this safe, what are the risks involved? (answer)
