The baby tooth that was there before it didnt come in all the way and was very small. They had to pull it out at the dentist because it was stuck from two teeth pushing against it. Now the adult has been in for more than a year and the adult tooth is about half the size it’s supposed to be. The tooth is the one that is two teeth behind the k9 tooth. (don’t know what their called). So what does having a smaller mean? Or what is it called?
It’s a molar tooth

If tonsils were the reason for your bad breath and you got rid of it after your surgery, how long did it take for your body to recover completely as an adult? (I’m 28) This is not about pain or discomfort, just the bad breath.

How important is it to fix tooth crowding?




My incisors are all messed up. One of them is almost completely in front of the other. Is it important to get this fixed?

I went to the orthodontist. These are my conditions…
-Moderate crowding of teeth 23-26
-Perfect jaw alignment.
-Perfect bite
-Missing adult tooth #29 (have baby tooth there)

In your opinion, would you get braces?

I lost my two front teeth in a bicycle accident when I was 13 years old. Dentists tried to recreate them by using bonding agent but it was only temporary. I’m 19 years old now and my front teeth have been exposed to corrosion over the years, making them look terrible. I refuse to smile and I cover my mouth when I laugh. I’m thinking that since I’m an adult and my mouth should stop growing, dental implants are a good idea. If I am to do this, what would the cost be and how quickly can I smile again?

Thank you.

I have a permanent adult tooth coming in and its pushing a baby tooth out. It hurts really bad! How can I get these pains to go away?

My puppy is 4 months old and losing her puppy teeth. One canine adult tooth is already coming in and the little baby tooth has not come out. The baby tooth is loose. Is this normal? Will she lose it on her own?

Oral surgery?




I’m having oral surgery on Friday and I wanna know if anyone has had this procedure done before. I had to get braces because I have a baby k-9 that never fell out, so I got braces to make room for the adult k-9 to fit. My teeth are moving super fast, so now I have enough room in my mouth for the adult k-9 to fit. The dentist told me that he will pull out the baby k-9 which will be easy because it’s ready to go. He will then expose the baby tooth in the upper part of my mouth by cutting some of the tissue away, and attach a bracket to it, and then pull it into place as time goes on. YES I KNOW it sounds and maybe painful, has anyone had this procedure done, what can I expect, how long did it take for your adult tooth to fit in its place? Please be gentle I have to go into surgery on Friday morning so please don’t scare me more than I already am.

Thanks
I will be totally asleep for the procedure, and hopefully lots of pain meds after. He expects me to be back at work on Monday.
Yikes I don’t want to walk around with no tooth for 6 months :)

Thanks for all the advice!!

Online College For Single Math Course?




My wife needs to finish her Air Force degree and all she needs is 3 credit hours in a math course, but she needs it in the next 3 months and no one near us is offering a math course. Please recommend a University/College that does online individual courses, must be accredited, hard work is not a problem, can’t do proctored exams (travel constantly), prefer under 0 (tuition assistance), NOT PHOENIX (not paying over 00 for a single course). Thanks for suggestions.
We’re in New Mexico right now. The colleges that we have spoken to that required a proctored final, required that you set up the test before the course even began, she doesn’t know where she’ll be at that time, so she can’t set it up. Honestly she could care less about the "quality" of the education, it’s a single math course and she’s an adult with no desire to become a mathematician.

I got a baby tooth (from the bottom, near the back) pulled out back around February 20th.

There is still no sign of the adult tooth, and it’s May!

Can someone please tell me, on average, how long it would or should take my tooth to come in?

Thanks so much!
I have braces on the top.

Okay, so i’m 23 and getting braces in two weeks. My orthodontist had four molars (they were bad and capped and filled) removed along with a baby tooth. However, i had to have an oral surgeon remove them and he knew it was for braces. However, i’ve read other places that the surgeon puts a bracket on the adult tooth that is still hiding while your under, but he didn’t do that for me? What is the next option? I dont want to have to go under again, that was not pleasurable!!

?? Help, hardly any time left!
