My sons right lateral incisor looks like two teeth. I can't remember what his dentist called it. The size of the "two teeth" is the size of his left lateral incisor. His dentist said it is not 2 teeth joined together b/c the canine teeth come in later(He's only 17 months old). Anyone know what this is called? I've never seen or heard of it. I've tried searching different things. I can't find any info. : /
What is the condition or name for a baby tooth that is one tooth but looks like two?

Also, ask him to swear on oath : "My Lord, I will only pull out the tooth, the whole tooth, and nothing but the tooth!"

Cat teeth cleaning/pulling?
My cat needs his teeth cleaned and possibly pulled (Last year the vet said to try to feed him chicken necks, but he wont eat them). Our vet wants $250 for having them cleaned, and then $500 if any need to be pulled. Another vet we've asked wants $385 regardless of if any teeth are pulled or not.
I was wondering (well, my mum, who's paying, was) if there is a way of being able to estimate if he will probably need to have them pulled or just cleaned? One of his canines is really browny/yellowy, with brown striped and chipped at the bottom, and most of his top teeth (not incisors or bottom teeth) are yellowy, with pink/reddish/some brownish blotched gums.
Or is there another teeth option that we haven't considered yet?
*He was a stray cat by the way. We are not horrible owners or anything.*
Cat teeth cleaning/pulling?
Wow, your cat's teeth looks better then mine (minus that one front canine).
The vet really should have been able to tell you weather at least that one tooth would need to be pulled. Mean yeah my cat's teeth looks like your cats (we can't afford getting his teeth cleaned) but its not hurting him any and we have the dental food as well. and I try to brush them (you should try that too if you can).
but really I still think a vet should be able to tell you if a tooth needs to be pulled BEFORE hand. So you can look at how much money you will be spending. But that depends on the vet. Some care about the animals, some just want the money.
Good luck to your kitty.
Reply:Wow. It sounds like his teeth are in pretty bad shape, and this could either be because he's a stray or just because of his genetic makeup. In my experience, when the teeth are chipped and brown, they usually need to be removed, and the gums should be pink...It sounds really painful.
Reply:Of course you're not terrible owners. Forget the judgment call on that one.
Me thinks your vet is not giving you all the information you require. S/he is either not fully informed or is of the breed of vet who is in the profession for the $$ and not the hipocratic oath. I have a cat with similar problems. My vet knows I'm in no financial position to have the "necessary" work done with my boy but advised me to switch over to a dental diet cat food. That has saved me a great deal. Harley still needs the dental work to some extent but he's okay for the time being.
Note: dental disease among cats is one of the leading causes of premature death. Poor dental care can lead to unforeseen infections that can affect the digestive, circulatory and cardiovascular. It's no different than with humans. Do your research.
Reply:Thats an awful lot of money isn't it? I think some vets out there are unscrupulous and in it for the cash to be charging this amount of money just to clean or pull teeth. I know they have to be put out for it and the gas costs but the amount stated is ridiculous! Of course you're not bad owners - you took him in off the streets and gave him a good home! Older cats will lose their teeth over the years and i'll give you a piece of advice. If he isn't in dire agony with his teeth, let them fall out on their own, it happens in the wild and they cope just fine with it. From your picture it seems as if he has a gum infection ( the red bits ) so i'd just ask your vet for some antibiotics to clear that up and some pain killers as it probably hurts a bit ( infection does especially in the mouth ) then let them come out on their own. My old cat lost her teeth over the years and was virtually gummy when she died but she never showed us any signs that her mouth was troubling her and she got on just fine with her dinner and her tit bits although she was on wet cat food towards the end of her life and she lived until she was 23! If you're concerned that she really needs them pulling then i'd look around for a cheaper vet! Good luck.
Reply:You did a good thing rescuing your kitty. Any cat can have dental problems. I have a 4 year old sphynx with terrible teeth/gums. He has already had 6 teeth pulled, which cost $180. That was in May and he already has had another round of antibiotics and 2 steroid shots for inflammation. He will probably need to have more removed. I have done some research and some cats will actually eat better and feel better without the teeth. Their gums are hard and they can still eat whatever food they want. I know my cat's teeth cause him pain because he has a bad attitude when his gums start getting red. He also gets really bad breath when they get bad.
The vet should be able to tell you approximately how many teeth may need to go. The difference should NOT be so great. My vet estimated $250-300 for a total extraction. You might want to check with some other vets in your area. Make sure they have lots of experience with cats teeth. You want only the best for your furry friend.
For a quick fix, the steroid shots have done wonders for Max. They last 1-2 months. I tried brushing his teeth, but he wouldn't have it!
Good luck with your kitty and his teeth. I hope he feels better soon!

Tooth???help?????
when i was 9 i got my 2 canine teeth removed yea doesnt sound bad but im 12 now and they're still not visible!!!!!!!!(not there) helpppp
Tooth???help?????
i'm a bit confused....
If both of your permanent canines were removed, they shouldn't be visible at all, neither by eye or by xray examination.
hope that helps
Reply:that typically sounds strange...
but i personally am reaaaally slow on my teeth. im almost 14 and my teeth are still not completely out but im getting work done and stuff. i would talk to my denist. im sure if their concerned, theyll tell u someday lol
really dont worry. worst thing that happens is they never come out (idk how that would be possible, actually, because u have to have adult teeth) and if they never come out, you can get vaneers over those teeths, or fake teeth (theyre really pretty common now, and a lot bettr quality than in the past)
if u have seen americas next top model, on the seasons (the winner was danielle but idk what year the season was) two women get work done, and its really good. jodie the girl with the snaggle tooth is kinda wat youd probably get. im talking about the final product.
believe me, im really paranoid with my teeth, but i think youll be fine, just talk to your orthodontist or denist

I have a dental bridge for my upper row of front teeth.. Should there be a gap between my gums and the bridge?
About a year ago, I had an accident that resulted in the loss of 4 of my upper front teeth.. The dentist pulled the broken ones and installed a 6 tooth long bridge that attached itself to both of my canines. I have a metal plate underneath, and the bridge is permanent (at least for ten years or so), but there appears to be a gap of space between the bridge and my upper gums. Should this be there?... Shouldn't the bridge be pushed all the way up to the gum to hide any spacing in between?... It looks horrible when I smile because of the blackness from the gap... makes my mouth look somewhat rotten to those who do not know that what they are seeing is a gap between the bridge and gums. The first time my dentist was to install the bridge, it turned out that the lab has made it in the incorrect size, so I had to come back... he seemed skiddish upon installing the second one, I think he knew it didn't fit correctly, but installed it anyway to save time and money for himself. What can I do?
I have a dental bridge for my upper row of front teeth.. Should there be a gap between my gums and the bridge?
The fact that you got the "vibes" that this wasn't done quite right is a bad indicator. No one wants to feel that way when getting aesthetic dental work accomplished.
The key to handling this is to ask your dentist if this would be okay in his mouth. In other words, would he want to see that gap if that bridge were in his mouth. Unless you get a good answer that makes the utmost sense to you, I suggest you press the point to have it redone.
Now, I'm not being critical in that there could be a thousand reasons why it was left in that manner, but it needs to be communicated to you and make sense to you. If it doesn't add up then go to another office and get a second opinion and compare notes.
Best of luck to you!!!
Reply:IF THE DENTIST DIDN'T FEEL COMFORTABLE PUTTING IN THE BRIDGE BUT DID IT ANYWAY, HE'S AT FAULT AND SHOULD REDO THE WORK AND PUT IN IN A BRIDGE THAT FITS PROPERLY.
WHAT YOU SHOULD DO IS REMIND HIM HE DIDN'T FEEL COMFORTABLE PUTTING IT IN BUT DID IT ANYWAY AGAINST HIS BETTER JUDGMENT. HE SHOULD DO IT AGAIN.

Big boy lost a tooth?
I have a Persian kitty 8 months old. I just noticed that he lost one of his canine tooth (big front tooth) at the upper left. I know kittens lose teeth during 2-4 months old but my big boy is already 8 months old. Could it be possible that he is still losing his baby teeth at this age? Please help.
Thx much!
Big boy lost a tooth?
Try taking him to the pet dentist. I have a cat that is already 1 year old and he hasn't lost all of his teeth yet. That's okay, though. If you're worried take him to the pet dentist. We just let out cat loose them on his own, and we'll only take him there for checkups and if he's in pain or need.
Reply:Its completely normal! Just have a check that the whole tooth is out and that he hasn't broken it but i think you'll find the whole tooth is out and a new one is on its way.
Reply:I have a male cat and when he was around a year he still was losing some of his teeth just like babies they lose there teeth at different times so dont worry he will be fine.
Reply:Hiya hon :o) xx It's still possible that big boy is losing his baby teeth here - when I had my big Eric I noticed that his big teeth were still coming through at 10 months old!! I guess cats are as different as we are when it comes to teeth - if you are concerned, please talk to your vet but it seems pretty normal to me - after all, your big fella is still a kitten: he's not a young adult until he gets to 1 years old and over!! xx

This question shoulda been asked in the Pet (cats) section. But, yes some of his baby teeth may take a while to come out and some may not come out at all and will need to be removed surgically because if not his teeth can become so crooked that he will have trouble eating and it could be dangerous to his health.
Reply:Whoa....feline dentistry...OK...The reality is that you need the advice of an animal doc, a Veterinarian. As a people dental technician I can tell you that over my years in practice I did create replacement teeth for both dogs and cows. I once created a Canine tooth (Porcelain Crown) for a show dog and I made crowns for three high producing milk cows. So as you can see all is not lost, you simply need your Vet along with a Dentist and an especially talented ceramist technician to put your kitty's smile back into action....

Is it normal to have bad pain in a tooth after a root canal?
on monday i had 2 root canals done, 1 on a canine and 1 on a bicuspid. at the end of the canal treatment the dentist put temporary fillings in them and x-rayed them. i was given a script for antibiotics. the bicuspid was sore afterwards but didn't hurt terribly. on wednesday i then went in to get the fillings out and have posts put in to build up the teeth and temporary crowns put on. so now it is one day after that was done. my canine tooth feels fine but my bicuspid hurts very bad. it feels like the pain is in the tooth. i even have an earache and my neck feels stiff. i have on and off pain in the side of my head above my ear. i was also given a prescription for vicadin for pain but that is not even helping. is this normal to feel bad pain like this after a root canal? and if it is, why doesn't the other hurt? i go back on tuesday to get fillings in some other teeth. i'm scared something got screwed up. i have no insurance. this cost me $3500, i have no money left.
Is it normal to have bad pain in a tooth after a root canal?
yes. just take a painkiller.
Reply:Yeah, but just a little discomfort. I feele for you It must be poor to be dirt poor. :(
Reply:I quoted the phrase "bad pain" from your question. I guess if you considered the pain "bad" enough, then it's not normal. Take immediate advice from your dentist for an earlier medication. He knows better for the pain you are experiencing. You may also use OraMD to minimize the pain and to keep your root canals and whole mouth secured from bad bacteria.

2yr old 10" Dovii (Wolf Cichlid) and his teeth have not be visible for six months. Will they grow back???
6 months ago his teeth were visible, and he is missing the two bottom canines. Will they grow back? He also has a slightly twisted jaw. I believe both were probably caused by bashing against the glass. (He was quite violent but no longer bashes at the glass yet still no teeth!) Any help is appreciated!
2yr old 10" Dovii (Wolf Cichlid) and his teeth have not be visible for six months. Will they grow back???
its hard to tell it depends on how serious the injury is.
as long as the rest of it is healthy and it is active and swimming around its should be fine.
It really doesnt need teeth unless it is in the wild for hunting.
as long as it is eating well you really shouldnt worry about it.
I know its hard to leave a fish alone when it is injured but that is all you can do really. Helping it may make the injury worse or do nothing at all.
good luck with it all

I'm getting a baby tooth pulled out?
i'm 13 and i'm getting my baby tooth pulled out in a week. it's one of my canine teeth, and the adult tooth is like growing above it. have you heard of/seen something like this before? will the adult tooth move into the place of the baby tooth? will getting my tooth pulled hurt?
this is sorta off the subject, but do hawley retainers close gaps?
I'm getting a baby tooth pulled out?
don't worry that's normal. your baby tooth is exfoliating and your permanent is erupting to replace the former.it is by the way the right time to have your tooth extracted because your permanent cuspid/canine is already there to replace your baby tooth. many of my patients have gone through like this before. we, dentist know the age of patients when exfoliation normally happen and when their permanent teeth erupts as they succeed the baby teeth. it will not really hurt during extraction, your dentist will give you local anesthetic to numb the area so you will not be hurting.yeah hawley retainers close the gap but it will be your dentist who will decide if you need it. it's normal you have the gap in between your teeth it's because your upper and lower jaw is growing. it will normally close but if it doesn't have it treated by your dentist. hope it help. im a dentist.
Reply:Yes the adult tooth will move in to place. I had this years ago when I was a kid. Getting the tooth pulled will not hurt as they numb your mouth first before they pull it.
Reply:i have the exact same thing and they r going to pull mine and give me braces.
Reply:DOnt Worry
it will be over before you know it.
Might have to eat soft food for a while like at the most a week
But it will be fine.
Reply:Hey dont worry about it be glad its only one i have had ten teeth pulled total! As many as four at a time. your adult tooth will move to the correct spot. just a fair warning when they numb you the numbness takes long time to wear off like 4-6 hours

Can you recommend things to give my puppy to help him lose some of his baby teeth?
My 5 month old puppy has 4 different teeth (two in the front and his two top canines) that have not fallen out even though his adult teeth have grown in. The vet said that we need to start wiggling them to get them out and if they are not out by January, we will need to get them pulled but I really want to avoid putting him under anesthesia.
The teeth aren't loose AT ALL and he doesn't sit still long enough for us to really sit there and wiggle them. Is there anything I can give him to at least get them moving at all? He has raw hides and a cow knee but those haven't done anything. Thank you in advance!
Can you recommend things to give my puppy to help him lose some of his baby teeth?
Leave them alone. Your vet will pull them out when he gets neutered next month (he will already be under anesthetic) when he is 6 months old.
ADD: Gotcha :) If he has not lost his teeth on his own by now, chances are he will not. I would set up an appointment at your veterinarian to pull those residing baby teeth. I would have them pulled within the next month before they create more oral and jaw alignment problems. Unfortunately, no toys/bones/etc. will help his teeth to fall out. Especially, if they are not loose. Good luck!
Reply:y not just have them pulled when u neuter ur dog. that way u can kill two birds with one stone
EDIT: if he hasnt lost them now then he wont and if u dont get them pulled he will be in pain. and it is mean to try to do it urself.
Reply:Give him hard and juicy things to eat and make sure you let him play with yanking kind of toys and toys and food to make the teeth looser and make him healthier.
Reply:Give him a flavored bone (to help with the pain of losing teeth). Also a non-fuzzy squeaky toy.
Reply:Use those chewy flavored bones (NOT RAWHIDE!), safe chewing sticks, and teething toys. This should help. You can also try brushing his teeth.
Reply:At 5 months of age you should be teaching your puppy to sit still for grooming, ear cleaning, nail clipping, teeth brushing.I recommend a puppy obediance class so you can handle your puppy better and enjoy him more. That said, my daughter had permanent teeth come in behind her baby teeth and had to get the baby teeth pulled. Maybe vet can just use sedation, not anasthesia.

EDIT: if he hasnt lost them now then he wont and if u dont get them pulled he will be in pain. and it is mean to try to do it urself.
Reply:Give him hard and juicy things to eat and make sure you let him play with yanking kind of toys and toys and food to make the teeth looser and make him healthier.
Reply:Give him a flavored bone (to help with the pain of losing teeth). Also a non-fuzzy squeaky toy.
Reply:Use those chewy flavored bones (NOT RAWHIDE!), safe chewing sticks, and teething toys. This should help. You can also try brushing his teeth.
Reply:At 5 months of age you should be teaching your puppy to sit still for grooming, ear cleaning, nail clipping, teeth brushing.I recommend a puppy obediance class so you can handle your puppy better and enjoy him more. That said, my daughter had permanent teeth come in behind her baby teeth and had to get the baby teeth pulled. Maybe vet can just use sedation, not anasthesia.

Why wont my dogs tooth grow back??
I have a seven month old puppy. Several months ago when he still had his first set of teeth, I was playing with him and yanked a toy out of his mouth which caused his bottom left canine tooth to fall out. I asked my vet about it and she said that there is nothing i could do to his baby teeth that would interupt the growing of his adult teeth. But still four months later all the teeth except for the one that was pulled out have grown in. He's still precious without the tooth but I'm wondering if this has caused impropper growth of the tooth. I'm reaaalllly scared its gonna start growing out of his chin or something.. hahah.. anywaysss helpp meeee.
Why wont my dogs tooth grow back??
The only thing I can think of is that it wasn't a baby tooth, but his permanent tooth that accidentally got yanked out. Either that or he's just missing a tooth - that does sometime happen.
Reply:Dogs usually get their permanent teeth in by 4-5 months, and the canine teeth are the first to come in. So there is a possibility that the tooth that was yanked out by mistake was a new permanent tooth, and permanent teeth don't grow back.
Reply:It couldve been a permanent tooth. Maybe you should go to another vet, and see what they say. or ask someone for a second oppinion
Reply:Adult canine teeth are the last teeth to erupt through the gums. This usually happens around six months but can occur earlier or later. Every dog is different. Give it a little more time don't worry the tooth is not going to grow in some weird way because his baby tooth fell out early.
Reply:The adult tooth should grow back in time. Are his other adult teeth present yet?
The early loss of that baby tooth won't cause any problems for the adult tooth. Think what it was like when you lost your teeth. It's only the baby teeth that never come out that cause problems for the growing adult teeth.
I would think it's very unlikely that this was an adult tooth that got pulled out. Dog's canine teeth are the hardest in the world to remove when they're healthy, there's about 3 times the visible length of the tooth under the gum, it takes hours of chiselling and yanking to pull one out, they don't come out just through playing! Break yes, come out, no.

Adult Canine Ain't coming down!?
In November it will be a year since i had my baby canine removed, and my adult canine still has not come down. My orthodontist even made room for it, seeing that it probably didn't have enough and it STILL Hasn't come down. If i rub my gums where the tooth is, i can feel it, does that mean its impacted?
Or just stubborn as an ox?
I already know i have to visit and oral surgeon, but i'm mostly curious if its considered impacted or not. and if i should just be a little more patient. ..

If it hasn't broken through the gums that means its impacted, that explains your trip to the oral surgeon.

Recurring tooth pain, left side of my mouth, worsening with each episode.?
Of course it is the weekend, and no dentist available. I have left sided jaw and tooth pain, it is excrutiating. My gums hurt and deep into the bone structure. This is the second time this has happened in the past few months, last time I was on vacation ( i can never get the timing right !) From my canine tooth back in the upper level and the same area in the lower level. Also my left ear hurts a litte. My teeth have been repaired, in fact one broke off and the nerve is exposed. I am older and the teeth that are filled are brittle. Is there some kind of condition that can cause this. I take care of my teeth and floss every night..and rinse with listerine every morning. There are no new cavities. Just wonder if there is a condition or disease that causes this so I can ask the dentist. I know there will be no repairing as he told me before, some day they will have to be pulled. Thank god i have lortabs, but not working, also just got over a sinus infection.
Recurring tooth pain, left side of my mouth, worsening with each episode.?
I'd say it is an abscess tooth that needs to be removed. If you go to the drug store and look closely in the dental section you may find something that may help. There are all sorts of patches and fillers and pain ointment that may help you till you can see your DDS. Also try some sinus medication - the pain could be coming from there and causing pressure on a bad tooth.
Reply:I think it might help is you rub some salt on your gum or tooth!
Reply:I needed a root canal the night before a national holiday and the pain drove me wild.
The only thing that eased it for me was putting an aspirin between the cheek and the gum (at the sore area) and leaving it to dissolve naturally.
I am not sure this is safe to do, so I DO NOT advise anyone to try it, it was just what I did when the pain became too much for me.
I hope you manage OK until you can get professional treatment!
I also found it helpful to only drink lukewarm water and through the other side of my mouth until I could get treated.

Question about a loose tooth and bruxism.?
About a year and a half ago, I woke up one day and my right canine tooth felt a bit weird--like it was slightly loose. I went to a dentist and he said that it was probably dislodged a little bit because I grind my teeth at night, and that it would heal (he said something about comparing it to bruising). It never really got better, but I'm still grinding my teeth too.
I went to a dentist a few days ago for other things and he said that my tooth feels like this because it needs a root canal. He said that a tooth doesn't become loose from grinding unless you have bone loss (unlikely for me because I'm nineteen, he said). Is that true? I was under the impression that you could crack, wear down, AND loosen teeth if you had a teeth-grinding problem. Also--if I need a root canal on this tooth, why wouldn't the other dentist have seen the cavity? He examined it pretty thoroughly (did everything short of an x-ray).
Thanks for any help. I'm really curious about this.
Question about a loose tooth and bruxism.?
Unless he did an x-ray he wouldn't know if you needed root canal as you can't see the apex of the root or periodontally so you don't know whether there is infection or anything. You needing RCT [root canal treatment] probably doesn't have much to do with the bruxism...unless you have clenched and grinded your teeth so much that the enamel has worn off and exposed the dentine underneath, dentine isn't solid and has little channels which can allow bacteria into the pulp chamber which contains the root canal and the nerve inside it.
The second dentist was right, unless you have bone loss or resorption of the root, your tooth won't wobble from bruxism.
Also, cavities aren't always obvious, there can be lesions on the toth called invaginations which look carious but are where the enamel has mineralised differently. it's nothing to worry about...you just can't really tell unless you have an xray.
Hope that helped...kind of.
good luck

Why do my teeth itch?
Every so often the roots of my teeth deep in my gums itch like crazy, epecially my canines and bicuspids. They've been itching for more than a week now and at this stage i feel like pulling them out its so annoying. I know you probably think its in my head or something but im just wondering if anyone else gets this and do they have a way of getting rid of it
(btw i dont have gum disease or bad teeth i've been to the dentist for this before and he was stumped)
Why do my teeth itch?
I'm wondering if this could be related to your sinuses. The sinus cavities sit very close to the roots of our top teeth. When they are inflamed or infected they can sit on the roots and usually create pain or temperature sensitivity. It may be that you feel it in the form of itching. You should discuss this with your doctor. Do you have nasal allergies? If so, then maybe treating the allergy will help. Good luck.
Reply:I really don't know but I think I have the solution you know the chewy toy babies chew on well buy one of those but instead of biting it rub it agains your gum
Reply:it's the aliens. They are trying to communicate with you.

Tooth problem?
my little brother is 17years old he has all of his grown teeth except for one,he has had an unerupted canine tooth for about a year and a half now,his baby tooth was pulled a year and a half ago because the dentist said that it was suppose to have been pulled out when he was a kid,but it had never got loose to pull it out.So he's just been waiting all this time hoping one day that the tooth comes down, you can even see a bulge in his gum where the tooth is but it just won't come out.He thought about having orthodonic treatment but he doesn't want to have to wear braces for 2 years, is there any thing he can take, or do to make his tooth come out.
Tooth problem?
Punch him in his mouth! Just kidding, he will have to go to the orthodonist some how. But just because the tooth won't come out, that doesn't mean that he has to have braces. I got one of my teeth takin out while I was awake and it didn't hurt a bit. But make sure that if you do go to a dentist or orthodonist, you can trust them.
Reply:When I was little, my dad pulled my front teeth out before they were really ready. The permanent ones did not come down - I had to have them surgically pulled down. he should see another dentist. Check out www.reducedcosts.info for AmeriPlan providers, so if your brother decides to do something, he can sign up and get a discount, since most dental insurances won't accept pre-exisitng conditions, but AmeriPlan will.

My puppy (al.1yr.)has a loose lower canine barely holding on & it may be a permanent tooth. What should I do?
We were playing and it became loose and started bleeding. Do I have to get it pulled?, I want him to keep his canines. He was licking like crazy so I think its bothering him, although I don't think its painful? Is it alright if I just leave it and hope it heals?
My puppy (al.1yr.)has a loose lower canine barely holding on %26amp; it may be a permanent tooth. What should I do?
it's ok, and normal. the tooth should fall out on its own.
if you're seriously worried, then call a vet's office and ask them.
Reply:Go to the vet!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Reply:you want to get him to a vet asap.
It could become infected and absess. They may be able to save the tooth, but if there is a crack down there, you will have a major vet bill if you don't do something now.
To the Vet!
Reply:Take her to a vet.They can tell if it is permanent or a baby tooth....So you have a puppy? Don't you just love the smell of puppy breath.?
Reply:If it is barely hanging on, it will not tighten up. If he will let you, reach in and pull it out with your fingers. It probably does hurt him and if you pull it out, it won't hurt anymore.
My little girlie dog has a loose tooth and I pulled it out myself with my fingers. It didn't bleed but one itty-bitty drop and she licked my after I pulled it. That was her way of thanking me for relieving her pain.
Good Luck!
Reply:Generally, I'm not one to rush to the vet for every little thing... with minor skin issues and things like that, it's usually okay to observe for a couple of days and just go to the vet if it doesn't resolve itself. But for this problem, you should get to the vet right away!
If this was a puppy tooth (if your pup was around 4 or 5 months old), you probably wouldn't need to worry because it would most likely have become loose since it was coming out anyway. At a year, you're dealing with permanent teeth, unless a stubborn puppy tooth never came out... you'd know because there would be a double canine in that spot, one big, one small, and the small one would be the loose one.
This may lead to big problems if you don't have it checked out soon, and your dog sounds like he's having some pain, so please get to the vet ASAP!!
Good luck!
Reply:Don't let him hurt- PLEASE, take him to the vet!!! He may need pain medicine for the pain!! A tooth ache is one of the worst pains there is!!

Will my teeth get worse if I don't get braces?
I had straight teeth when I was younger, but now that I'm 15, my teeth have grown, and my mouth is a bit crowded. One of my canines is also very large, and my four of my bottom teeth are overlapping just a bit (almost unnoticeable unless you look in from the top. If I don't fix them now, will my teeth get worse?
If I do get braces, I'll probably have to pull at least one tooth. How long will the entire process take?
Will my teeth get worse if I don't get braces?
Yes, your teeth shift as you age, which could make them look worse.
Most people who get braces (or who don't) get teeth removed at one point--I had my wisdom teeth removed right after my braces were removed.
The time it takes will depend upon the course of treatment by your dentist. But, there are LOTS of methods of treatment regarding braces---ceramic, invisalign, standard metal braces, etc.
For me, it took a total of 5 years. However, my teeth were worse than the average person who gets braces. My friends who had braces averaged 1-3 years of treatment.
Talk to your dentist!
Reply:yes, your teeth with still shift and crowd as time goes on. This is why people who have gotten their braces off have to wear a retainer to bed in order to prevent their teeth from shifting,
Reply:Many people are able to go their whole lives without needing retainers or bracers and still have room for their wisdom teeth. It depends on the size of your teeth, and how much space your jaw has to accommodate them.
Ultimately, the safe thing to do is take your dentist's advice, but if you're afraid he or she is not telling you the whole truth, don't be afraid to ask questions, or get a second opinion.
Reply:Your teeth could shift and become more crowded. You didnt say if you had your wisdom teeth out or not. If they havent come in yet (wisdom teeth) I think your teeth will definitely shift. Crowded mouths are also more prone to gum problems and are harder to get spaces between the teeth properly cleaned. I recommend getting an orthodontic consult or two. The consults are usually free and the orthodontist can tell you what they have in mind to help you with your crowding. Crowding doesnt just affect your looks but can also affect your bite.

I am getting braces on aug 14 and i am wondering how long it will be until my teeth are straightened?
my teeth have a little space in the front and the two side teeth are small and set back and my canines are a bit up high but my bottom teeth are really straight and i have no bite problems; no overbite, underbite, crossbite, or openbite.
I am getting braces on aug 14 and i am wondering how long it will be until my teeth are straightened?
It really depends on if you follow your doctor's instructions completely or not. The more you follow the more chances you will have them off in no time. I would say about 1 to 2 years if you follow the instructions.
Reply:it usually take about 2 to 4 years depending if you follow the dentists rules
Reply:Usually your orthodontists sets the time frame before you get them on. In my opinion i bet you'll have them off in a year maybe 2 at most.
Reply:it really depends on the condition of your teeth. but ttrust me, when you go c ur dentist they'll tell you how long you'll need to wear them
Reply:There is no way anyone can tell you how long your treatment will take without examining you. You have to ask your orthodontist this question.
Reply:i just got mine 3 days ago. your orthodontist should have told you like mine said 18-24 months and that is usually the same for everyone after your teeth are straight you have it for a while after
Reply:According to what you described, I would guess between 1 and 2 years, probably closer to 1. However, I am not an orthodontist so I advise you to ask your orthodontist for additional details at your next visit
Reply:Most likely a year and then a retainer for a year, then wear it just at night then 2 nights a week for the rest of your life... I had the same thing.
Reply:you will start noticing right away maybe a month or so my son had really bad spaces and teeth behind each other and now they are straight it is amazing what braces can do.we noticed a difference in a month or so but it takes a while to see the outcome,he has had his on 2 years now,but wow what a difference
Reply:Well you will probably only have about 1 1/2 years thats about how long i have mine, but at my ortho they straighten your teeth in about one month then they just keep the braces on so your teeth stay like that.
