I'm 23 years old and I have a baby tooth on my left side that never came out. The dentist said it is because my adult tooth grew in sideways and became stuck. I was told that if it falls out I could get braces to help the adult tooth come in. Is there any other option that might be cheaper than braces such as a false tooth because I do not want to be missing a tooth.
Baby tooth that never fell out?
If you want straight teeth, braces is the best way to go. Consult your dentist about getting a fake tooth. My aunt has one and you can tell its fake and it hurts terrible if you get it fully inserted. I would just go with brace if I were you. Good luck!

Gum disease?
I have had gum disease problems since i was a kid. Now that I'm older my dentist says my teeth are getting lose and I should consider getting them pulled and getting false teeth. She says I'm having bone loss. I was thinking about checking into permanent teeth but unsure if i would even be a right candidate for this plus the price seems to be out of reach. I regret that in my younger days I didn't do more to control this problem but it seems to late now. Any suggestions. I just don't want to have problems eating with false teeth as some friends I know have. Is there any other procedures that can be done that makes artificial teeth stay in place better? Any advice would be appreciated.
Gum disease?
Periodontal disease is heredity mostly. you can start working on your gums. Brush your gums but, not away from your teeth. Glyoxide is a peroxide type of mouth disinfectant. this works good around gums and also lightens your teeth. You should call around and find out who in your town has an ultrasonic cavitron this will get your gums on the right path without periodontal surgery. You must be ready to begin a whole different regiment of tooth brushing/gum brushing. You can save your teeth if u do this. Remember do bot brush your gums away from your teeth. this will do more harm. you want to stimulate your gums so they will regrow around your teeth. This should hold your teeth in you want to get your gums so that they do not bleed. no matter how hard u brush. I had a spot that i was told would not regrow but i worked it until it regenerated healthy stimulation and circulation i believe works because it did heal on me and it as getting very serious. Remember to brush all your gums and teeth. don't get slack in this. Don't get in a bad routine of not brushing. or even missing a spot. it could be detrimental to your teeth. Good luck. If u don't understand write me and I'll try to be more specific. Happy brushing, start with a child or soft brush.

I may have to get dentures...husband freaked out?
I'm 36 years old, and due to bad genes...it's quite possible that I will have to get dentures. I've already had several teeth pulled, including most of my molars and two teeth toward the top front. My husband insists that I only need bridges for the front teeth that I'm missing. But the rest of my teeth are so bad that I really think it'd be a waste of money to even mess with the bridges.
Anyway, when I mentioned the dentures to my husband, he freaked out and said that he "couldn't be married to someone with false teeth." He says that he's not shallow, but there's just something about dentures that he can't handle.
I'm at a loss. I thought that marriage was for better or worse, and don't a lot of people lose their teeth while growing old together? I know I'm young to lose all of my teeth...but as far as I'm concerned, it's better than looking like a snaggle tooth (the way I do now).
Should I be upset? Should he? How do I handle this??
I may have to get dentures...husband freaked out?
I'm 34 and due to bad genes last month I had to get an upper denture. My husband didn't freak out he just wanted me to have some self confidence something my bad teeth had caused a lack of. You can't tell thery're fake they look great. My husband hasn't seen me without them and I plan to keep it that way. I received my denture the same day my teeth were pulled. My mouth was pretty sore at first I even lost 7lbs so far. Keep your head , up your husband should want what makes you happy . It's not like you want him to take you out dancing without your teeth. Good Luck!!!!!!
Reply:If you can afford to save the back teeth you should. Once themolars are removed bone resorption sets in. Over a long span of time You willloose you jaw structure.
A bridge is always the option of choice over complete dentures.

Reply:This really upsets me, if he wasnt shallow it wouldnt bother him. I dont want to sound mean but what the hell does it matter if you loose all your teeth as long as he has you so it shouldnt matter if you get dentures. You cant help it that you have to get dentures and if he doesnt understand that then hes just an *** to me. And if he doesnt want you after you get them find someone else that will.
Reply:Tell your husband to GROW UP!
My mom had all her teeth pulled at 42 because of genetic gum disease, has beautiful dentures and you can't even tell the difference at all.
Reply:what a ******* ajck ***. to him you should be beautiful no matter what. %26amp; it is for better or worse. trust me there are a lot worse things than ******* dentures. and its a lot better for you and im sure more comforting then having to get teeth pulled and all that other bullshit. if hes being serious, and cant stay married to you over that i dont know why you married him in the first place. you deserve someone amazing who will stick with you through everything!
Reply:He says he's not shallow, well, he IS being shallow...You guys need to sit down and talk, and maybe go to a councilor....that's no reason to leave a person!
Reply:i was around 30 when i had my dentures best thing i ever did, he should be supportive if he wont acccept you then leave him
Reply:I think you should remind him that one day he too will loose his teeth, and I am sure you will stay with him. Everyone eventually looses their teeth its what happens in life. My husband doesn't have wonderful teeth and trust me girl half the time his breath is horrible but I love the off and he should love you too. I think once you get the dentures he will be pleasantly surprised of how great you woll look and oh the enloyment he could have when you took them out, (if you know what I mean)
Good luck!!!!
Reply:first of all, i'd love to know how your husband would know you "only need bridges"... is he a dentist?
hon, really, you can't help it if you need dentures, and the truth is, your bad genes are NOT your fault! Gum issues and disease caused from bad teeth can affect other things in your body, including your heart and circulatory system.
YES your husband IS shallow...
You aren't too young to lose your teeth -- many people get dentures at a young age... it has nothing to do with your character or the type of person you are, and im' sure you're a great person with many wonderful qualities.
I'll also bet you will look lovely with your new teeth.
Your husband needs to learn about acceptance... it seems you've matured, and he's still a kid....
Reply:Yes you should be upset. He is shallow and an insensitive jerk. He should love you no matter what and dentures are not that big of a deal. Tell him to grow up.
Reply:Of course you should be upset, you are more than your teeth. My mother had to get dentures at a very young age and you'd never know. She only takes them out to clean them, she even sleeps with them. You should probably do everything you can to save the remaining teeth. My mom wishes she could bite into an apple. Talk to your dentist and just do what's best for your health. If he can't handle it I'm sure there might be bigger things that he can't handle either. If he can't handle something as minor as this, well, that's his problem. Good luck :)
Reply:How the hell can a man who put up with a woman with a mouth full of rotten teeth try to be so picky????
Reply:How I can put this..Have you talk to him about not wearing your dentures and how beneficial it could for him be when you two get the freak on?. I bet you he'll like that.. ;)
They won't be any teeth scratching or getting on the way. Hopefully he'll start looking at you in a different way. grinnn :-))
On a serious note. He has issues..this your health you are talking about. For better or for worst?.gezzz what's up with that?
Good luck.
Reply:Yikes, my brother is facing a similar situation in the future and he will be right around your age! (I thought this might make you feel a little less alone). I don't think dentures have a whole lot of sex appeal, but if you don't have any other choice, I don't see what else you could do. My brother is considering getting dental implants in Mexico when the time comes for him, but I'm not sure that is a great idea....
(For those who are suggesting she pays for dental implants up here, they are not covered by insurance companies and cost a fortune. Also, not all people are candidates for this.) However, if you are very well off you may want to check into this, if you haven't already. Also, maybe give your husband a little bit of time to adjust to this...he was incredibly insensitive, but hopefully he'll come around.
I hope you aren't offended by this, but because of my brother's situation, I'd be very interested to hear how this turns out for you.
Reply:I'm 33 and have a upper denture plate best thing i ever did and it wasn't that my teeth were bad i broke a front tooth and it would have cost me more to fix it then to have them all pulled. If you can afford it try veneers or the ones they screw in. I met my husband right before i broke my tooth he stayed though the teeth pulling and doesn't mind the dentures at all remind him of the pleasure he can get from you being able to take the teeth out lol....Honestly though he is being shallow he should want whats best for you and make you feel compy with it
Reply:Tell your husband that I told that he was a "jerk"...I'll laugh out loud by the time he looses all his teeth...
Don't worry I'll curse him for you...just to give him a little lesson...hahaha
Reply:you have every right to be upset. It was a very mean thing to say. ANd i know what your going through on the bad teeth part. only i am 16 yrs younger and facing a similar situation. only my problem is the enamel on my teeth is very weak.
I have pulled up a couple sites you might be interested in.

i have found myself looking into everything like this.Hope it helps and good luck
Reply:Your husband is shallow, selfish, insensitive and, quite frankly, an asshole.
Have you considered dental implants in place of the missing teeth? They're permanent, natural looking, and are NOT dentures.
If the jackass you're married to will fund the treatment, then it might be a viable alternative.
Reply:Tell him it could be him one day and he should not judge you
Reply:Why don't you knock all his teeth out then tell him you can't be with a dude who has dentures and see what he says then? Freaking looser of a husband you got.
Reply:Take him with you to the dentist so he can discuss it with him. Maybe if he knows everything that it would entail and that the teeth would look natural he would be fine with it. I hope so. You may also want to gently remind him of the "for better or worse, till death do us part" aspect of your vows. Sure, this is kinda "for worse" but it sure as heck isn't "death parting us"! Maybe he needs a bit of perspective. Just be nice about it.
Reply:I've met people who were in their early 20's who have dentures; some people have great teeth-others not. I think it is best to keep your teeth and go for bridges if you are able, but if not - so what. And I've heard from men that women who remove their dentures while 'having fun' with the men; you know performing oral - are awesome; they said it was the best they ever had. Tell him to look on the bright side - You'll look better and he'll 'feel' better.
Reply:well I recieved the same response from my husband,I am in the process of getting CROWNS--he said no wife of his will have dentures!!!!!!if you have a school of dentistry in you area see if they are accepting patients--there are many other avenues to help you as well if you can not afford it..And do not feel ashamed!!Before you know it you will be smiling from ear to ear
Reply:Just curious as to why implants have not been discussed as an option???
Reply:Save all the remaining teeth you can to stave off bone resorption.
Save up a lot of money and ask about implants. I don't know what "genes" you are talking about (osteogenesis imperfecta, dentinogenesis imperfecta, other?) but if implants are an option for you then definitely save up some cash for that OR have yourself a fundraiser if you truly are losing your teeth due to a genetic disorder.
Hope that helps.
You might have to get a partial in the meantime and your husband will just have to deal with it. :)

I think once you get the dentures he will be pleasantly surprised of how great you woll look and oh the enloyment he could have when you took them out, (if you know what I mean)
Good luck!!!!
Reply:first of all, i'd love to know how your husband would know you "only need bridges"... is he a dentist?
hon, really, you can't help it if you need dentures, and the truth is, your bad genes are NOT your fault! Gum issues and disease caused from bad teeth can affect other things in your body, including your heart and circulatory system.
YES your husband IS shallow...
You aren't too young to lose your teeth -- many people get dentures at a young age... it has nothing to do with your character or the type of person you are, and im' sure you're a great person with many wonderful qualities.
I'll also bet you will look lovely with your new teeth.
Your husband needs to learn about acceptance... it seems you've matured, and he's still a kid....
Reply:Yes you should be upset. He is shallow and an insensitive jerk. He should love you no matter what and dentures are not that big of a deal. Tell him to grow up.
Reply:Of course you should be upset, you are more than your teeth. My mother had to get dentures at a very young age and you'd never know. She only takes them out to clean them, she even sleeps with them. You should probably do everything you can to save the remaining teeth. My mom wishes she could bite into an apple. Talk to your dentist and just do what's best for your health. If he can't handle it I'm sure there might be bigger things that he can't handle either. If he can't handle something as minor as this, well, that's his problem. Good luck :)
Reply:How the hell can a man who put up with a woman with a mouth full of rotten teeth try to be so picky????
Reply:How I can put this..Have you talk to him about not wearing your dentures and how beneficial it could for him be when you two get the freak on?. I bet you he'll like that.. ;)
They won't be any teeth scratching or getting on the way. Hopefully he'll start looking at you in a different way. grinnn :-))
On a serious note. He has issues..this your health you are talking about. For better or for worst?.gezzz what's up with that?
Good luck.
Reply:Yikes, my brother is facing a similar situation in the future and he will be right around your age! (I thought this might make you feel a little less alone). I don't think dentures have a whole lot of sex appeal, but if you don't have any other choice, I don't see what else you could do. My brother is considering getting dental implants in Mexico when the time comes for him, but I'm not sure that is a great idea....
(For those who are suggesting she pays for dental implants up here, they are not covered by insurance companies and cost a fortune. Also, not all people are candidates for this.) However, if you are very well off you may want to check into this, if you haven't already. Also, maybe give your husband a little bit of time to adjust to this...he was incredibly insensitive, but hopefully he'll come around.
I hope you aren't offended by this, but because of my brother's situation, I'd be very interested to hear how this turns out for you.
Reply:I'm 33 and have a upper denture plate best thing i ever did and it wasn't that my teeth were bad i broke a front tooth and it would have cost me more to fix it then to have them all pulled. If you can afford it try veneers or the ones they screw in. I met my husband right before i broke my tooth he stayed though the teeth pulling and doesn't mind the dentures at all remind him of the pleasure he can get from you being able to take the teeth out lol....Honestly though he is being shallow he should want whats best for you and make you feel compy with it
Reply:Tell your husband that I told that he was a "jerk"...I'll laugh out loud by the time he looses all his teeth...
Don't worry I'll curse him for you...just to give him a little lesson...hahaha
Reply:you have every right to be upset. It was a very mean thing to say. ANd i know what your going through on the bad teeth part. only i am 16 yrs younger and facing a similar situation. only my problem is the enamel on my teeth is very weak.
I have pulled up a couple sites you might be interested in.

i have found myself looking into everything like this.Hope it helps and good luck
Reply:Your husband is shallow, selfish, insensitive and, quite frankly, an asshole.
Have you considered dental implants in place of the missing teeth? They're permanent, natural looking, and are NOT dentures.
If the jackass you're married to will fund the treatment, then it might be a viable alternative.
Reply:Tell him it could be him one day and he should not judge you
Reply:Why don't you knock all his teeth out then tell him you can't be with a dude who has dentures and see what he says then? Freaking looser of a husband you got.
Reply:Take him with you to the dentist so he can discuss it with him. Maybe if he knows everything that it would entail and that the teeth would look natural he would be fine with it. I hope so. You may also want to gently remind him of the "for better or worse, till death do us part" aspect of your vows. Sure, this is kinda "for worse" but it sure as heck isn't "death parting us"! Maybe he needs a bit of perspective. Just be nice about it.
Reply:I've met people who were in their early 20's who have dentures; some people have great teeth-others not. I think it is best to keep your teeth and go for bridges if you are able, but if not - so what. And I've heard from men that women who remove their dentures while 'having fun' with the men; you know performing oral - are awesome; they said it was the best they ever had. Tell him to look on the bright side - You'll look better and he'll 'feel' better.
Reply:well I recieved the same response from my husband,I am in the process of getting CROWNS--he said no wife of his will have dentures!!!!!!if you have a school of dentistry in you area see if they are accepting patients--there are many other avenues to help you as well if you can not afford it..And do not feel ashamed!!Before you know it you will be smiling from ear to ear
Reply:Just curious as to why implants have not been discussed as an option???
Reply:Save all the remaining teeth you can to stave off bone resorption.
Save up a lot of money and ask about implants. I don't know what "genes" you are talking about (osteogenesis imperfecta, dentinogenesis imperfecta, other?) but if implants are an option for you then definitely save up some cash for that OR have yourself a fundraiser if you truly are losing your teeth due to a genetic disorder.
Hope that helps.
You might have to get a partial in the meantime and your husband will just have to deal with it. :)

Okay, this is a long question so get ready ...?
Right - I have a buried tooth in my gums that is a canine tooth. I need surgery to pull it down and braces to help it. I also have my two eye teeth missing and in the place of one of my eye teeth is a canine tooth which shouldn't be there. I also need braces to move that into the right place. Then, because my eye teeth are missing, once the canine teeth are in the right place i will need a bridge (a false tooth) in place.
I'm nervous and i don't know whether i should go through with it. I know i should but just thinking about it makes me feel weird.
The braces will have to be on for about 2 and a half years.
What should I do?
Okay, this is a long question so get ready ...?
Wow Morgan, thats a lot to get through, but just think how bad off you will be if you don't do it! If you are really unsure, maybe ask if you can go to another dentist and see if he says the same things are needed, just to be sure. Sometimes braces aren't just about how your teeth will look, they can be important to make sure you can chew and eat correctly.
Reply:If you are young of course
If you are 65 well, I wouldn't
Reply:if u feel it is right for you you should have it done.
Reply:hide yourself in your room for 2 and a half years. Go out only on haloween and dress as vampire
Reply:knock all out or adjust to the pain every two to three weeks I did have some ugly teeth too when I was younger @15-16 had the ugly braces back then You all got it good now. Oh and the pain is the same. Other wise get dentures never woprry about cavities or going brown. I really like my Coffee and hot chocalates haha Good luck lil one. You will know what to do.
Reply:YOU MUST BE INSANE TO SAY YOU DONT KNOW IF YOU SHOULD GET IT....OF COURSE YOU SHOULD. i dont know how old you are but can you imagine your teeth grown out all out-of-place? are you going to want to be going around college looking like that? or just go through the fear and pain and what ever else is going through your mind now, so when you are older your mouth will be beautiful! come on dont you think a pretty smile is worth more that what your scared of? get it over with and later down the line your going to ask yourself "what was i thinking not want to go through with it?!?!?!" haha good luck, be brave!
Reply:It all depends if you'll mind wearing braces and how important your teeth are to you. If you think your smile is very important then this would all be worth while. If it;s not that important to you,, then most likely this is a waste of your time and money/
Reply:follow your tooth/teeth doctor's orders that is his feild of expertise.Different from a medical doctor I can imagine that is why it may take years to become an physician in the medical field.Dentist schooling may be long as well

Implants advise please?
Hi I had both my front teeth fractured (accident) and the dentist has advised me to have implants but a friend off mine was saying that her mum had this done and she had problems,they became loose and kept having to have more filler stuff put in,well I'm having my two teeth taken out next week,they are held with a splint thing at the mo,so what i am asking is,do you know about implants and is it really painfull because i'm having the screw things put in then i have to wear false teeth for about 3-4 months till they heal then have theeth screwed in but the price is £3,500,plus £195 which i've already paid for treatment i've had (ie my not so very sexy false teeth ),so advise please or should i just get a nice little jar to put the false ones in at night and anew car ;)
Implants advise please?
I don't know how long ago your friends Mom had her Implant(s) done, but if it was a very long time ago, I know things have changed. I have seen some that were done many years ago fail also, but it was due to the type that was being used and things loosened up over time. I do not know what kind they use where you live and there are lots of different kinds out there. We use a Company called 3I, they stand behind their product.
I hope that you are having the procedure done by a Periodontist or a Oral Surgeon. I work in a dental office with a Periodontist 1 day a week and we do lots of Dental Implants and the majority of patients have very little discomfort after the surgery. Some do fail and we have to redo them. Basically your body need to except this devise..kind of like having a kidney transplant. Most cases we do that are done to patients front teeth due to injury we do the extraction (remove teeth), and do what we call a bone graft. Bone graft is demineralized bone sometimes human, it is perfectly safe...ours comes from the American Red Cross. The reason for doing this is to fill in the hole where the teeth were, this helps to reinforce your existing bone and gives us a more solid foundation to place the Implants. We usually do not do immediate implants, but that is not to say we never do them. We would let everything heal for several months first. The patient would wear a removable appliance (with the missing teeth on it) until the permanent Implant hardware and crowns can be made.
Treatment Plan for Implants/extractions:
1) Impressions to make removable appliance (flipper)
2) Extraction and Bone Graft, insert flipper
3) Several appts to check healing and to make adjustments on the flipper. Might take some xrays of the surgical site to see how things are healing.
4) Implant surgery - Implant gets screwed into bone and a cover screw placed into that.
5) Several appts to check healing and to make sure that Implant is taking. Poss need to adjust flipper.
6) Healing Abutment phase... If tissue has grown over the cover screw as it usually does it will have to be uncovered 1st. Remove cover screw and screw in heal abut.
7) Remove heal abut place som implant hardware and take impression
8) Insert Implant hardware and crowns.
The whole process takes about 1 year maybe a bit longer or less depending on healing. If the teeth are removed and implant surgery is done at this visit it cuts down the total process time to about 6 - 8 months, again depends on the healing. It is not always a good idea to rush these cases.
I hope this helps and sorry it is so long.
Good Luck and if you need more info don't hessitate to ask.
Reply:The relatively new implants are a marvoulous thing, especially for young people. To wear "false teeth" is acceptable but to each his own.
There are two methods of installing implants. One is the "quick way" where they put the teeth on the screwed in posts pretty soon after the screws go in. The problem is they dont get a chance to heal into the gum and bone before you start chewing on them and they start moving. The best way is to wait like your dentist suggests. That way they will last a lifetime. A new car is nice but will only last a few years. Your smile is with you forever. Good Luck

Has this ever happened to you by any chance?
A dinner speaker was in such a hurry to get to his engagement that when he arrived and sat down at the head table, he suddenly realized that he had forgotten his false teeth.
Turning to the man next to him he said, "I forgot my teeth." The man said, "No problem." With that he reached into his pocket and pulled out a pair of false teeth. "Try these," he said.
The speaker tried them. "Too loose," he said. The man then said, "I have another pair...try these." The speaker tried them and responded, "Too tight." The man was not taken back at all. He then said, "I have one more pair of false teeth...try them."
The speaker said, "They fit perfectly." With that he ate his meal and gave his address. After the dinner meeting was over, the speaker went over to thank the man who had helped him. "I want to thank you for coming to my aid. Where is your office? I've been looking for a good dentist."
The man replied, "I'm not a dentist. I'm the local undertaker."
