- My daughter is 19 months old and I wanted to know when I should schedule her first dentist's appointment. She has her first 12 teeth and her eye teeth are starting to come in. Should she get seen before she's 2?

- My 4 year old daughter was hit by a swing and her two front teeth are very loose. X-rays were taken yesterday and reveal that both of the roots are fractured all the way across. We were told to come back in a month to see what happens (whether they fall out or start to hurt). What are the chances that the root/teeth will strenghten enough to remain in her mouth with extracting them? (answer)

- My 4 year old daughter has several bad teeth. Her two front teeth are overtaken with cavities. She also has at least 4 or 5 more teeth that have become severely rotten with cavities. She has been having severe toothaches. We have been giving her Children's Tylenol 80 mg. 2x's every 2 hours and Oragel for the pain, but nothing seems to help. I am afraid if we keep giving her the Tylenol she will overdose. She has been up all night long and her tooth still has not stopped hurting. Is there anything that I can give her to stop the pain. I won't be able to get her into the dentist office until Monday. I really need some advice, I hate to see my baby hurt. ...Angela (answer)
- My 5 year old child got a space maintainer (SM) after extraction a baby tooth. Month after I visited dentist. Reason: I did not like SM moving deeper to her gum. For dentist it was OK. In this time 6 months after the SM is so deep in her gum, it is painful for her and causing bleeding. I am thinking the dentist didn't glue the SM very well to her tooth, so it moved deep to the gum.
My question: Can I ask a dentist to take the SM off for 2 months? If her gum will be healthy again should it be put back? ...Gabriela (answer)

- My son is two years old and I think he might have tooth decay on his two front teeth. I also think he might have a couple of cavities. My question: Is he too young for dental work? Would a dentist be willing to fix his teeth at this age or do they wait for there second set of teeth to come in? I don't know if he has bottle mouth or not. I'm very worried.... Kerri (answer)

- My five year old boy has two cavities on his lower front teeth. Our dentist -- we are new to him-- wants them filled and said he was going to use nitrous oxide as a sedative. My questions:
1. At age five does he really need fillings on baby teeth that will come out in the coming years?
2. I saw a "horror" story on TV a few years ago where a four year old boy died as he was sedated by his dentist who assured the parents there was positively no risk. Are there any documented cases of children dying or suffering problems related to nitrous oxide sedation? ...Rick (answer)
- We adopted a 15 month old from Russia. She will be 2 in March. She has 16 teeth in already with no problems other than ear infections. She has brown stains on her four front teeth. She does not go to sleep with a bottle. She does drink juice and milk but we brush her teeth before bed. We brush her teeth twice a day regularly. When do permanent teeth develop? Is it during pregnancy or after birth? We feel that the discoloration might be because of lack of nutrition from the birth mother. Do you think that her permanent teeth will not be discolored now that we are giving her the proper nutrition? ...Christine (answer)
- How long does it take for a child's teeth to come out after they are pulled? The dentist pulled out 2 of my daughter's teeth to make room for her permanent teeth. It's almost a year and I haven't seen her permanent teeth come out yet...Janet (answer)
- My daughter age 6 has what the ER advises is an abcessed tooth. Her Doctor said it was a viral infection. In the ER I could see the hole in her tooth. They have given her a shot of antibotics and a 10 day supply of augmentin. The whole side of her face is swollen including around her eye. She seems to be in pain I am giving her Junior Motrin for her fever and for the pain. Yet she does not like to take meds. It takes us 30 to 45 minutes to get the 3 pills in her. Then another 30 minutes to get her to drink the augmentin. Are the Doctors treating this right? They said that I need to see a DDS as soon as the infection clears. Is that right or should I try to get there Monday. It is Saturday now. What else can I dofor her?...Darlene (answer)
- My 6 year old son was hit in the mouth with a stick when he was 4. His front teeth were damaged and we took him to a dentist. The Dr. said one tooth was dead and another one was slightly chipped (baby teeth). We were told that they would fall out soon and to watch for problems. Two years later his top front teeth are loose he has lost his bottom front. The problem is that they are not falling out but appearing more bucked every day. What should I do? Also is this a sign that he will need braces in the future and if so at what age? Last question: Is an undersized pallet a common problem? My friend's child has this problem and now I am looking twice. Thanks for the help. I have tried to get a pediodontist in my area for many months to no avail...Rochelle (answer)
- My wife's sister's 4 year old just had 6 teeth pulled at one time. Now that don't sound right to me but what do I know. Is that OK to do? He hasn't stopped bleeding. They took him to the ER and they kept him and they couldn't get it to stop. So they shipped him to a larger more equipped hospital about 200 miles away. I am over 300 miles away-I'm just worndering if this is normal or what do you think is wrong. I just heard he's not doing very good. Well thank you for whatever help you offer...Daniel (answer)
- My son is three years old and he fell and knock a loose two of his teeth. Is there any way that his teeth can be saved? If so how long do you have to wait before acting? I have already taken him to the dentist and they said give it a week is that good or bad? If those teeth are pulled how long before his secondary teeth come?
