So my ex hasn't brushed his teeth in 8 years (seriously) and while he was on vacation his front tooth just fell out!  He didn't get a replacement one so he has this gaping hole in the front of his mouth.  My dad thinks it's a good idea to send him a fake tooth in the mail without our return address.  What do you guys think?  BTW, he's a real son of a.

Not after a month has passed.  Go back to the dentist before it leads to further problems.

amissybell, why don't you watch who you're calling gay? Saktoth happens to be my boyfriend. Don't bloody well make assumptions like that. Not only that, he's asked a perfectly serious question, clearly after a serious response.\nNo wonder you've only got a 3% best answer rate.\n\nSorry Saktoth, you already know that I think you should go and see a dentist about it to see if it's in danger of cracking completely and that I don't know what would have caused it.

Talk to your doctor and to your dentist and see what they have to say. I would probably say it's okay (except for the painkillers, possible), but to be on the safe side, TALK TO YOUR DENTIST AND YOUR DOCTOR!

I had been in an accident that left me with shattered front teeth. I was self-conscious about it. Before I could get them fixed, some jackass (a complete stranger) walked up to me and very coldly said, "Your teeth look sooooo stupid. Why do you walk around looking like that? You'd better get those teeth fixed RIGHT NOW because your f**ked-up face is making me want to puke." I was really embarrassed. Did he think that I didn't realize that my dental work was messed up? There are little things called "appointments" that you have to make with doctors to get things done, you know. I had to wait until the dental clinic could get me in for that large a repair job, because it was going to be a rather long ordeal. Anyway, that comment was the absolute last thing I needed to hear.

My daughter went 4 months without any sign of two front teeth coming in.  I think her father pulled them before they were completely ready to come in.  It was around christmas time so my daughter who was 6 at the time had to keep hearing from people was  "All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth" :)  Anyways, they did eventually come in.  My dentist had done a panaramic xray when she first started going there and he saw all the adult teeth in the gum.  Having said that, I still have 2 baby teeth in my mouth (im 28) with no adult teeth under them.  My dentist is getting ready to pull them to make room for my wisdon teeth.... Either way the dentist will be able answer all your questions.  Take Care.

YUP, I had been using it for the past week, and I just put them away last night. I didn't want to talk to my dentist for the exact same reason you've stated. I'll tell you a bit about my experience. \n\nThe first few days/nights you use them are killer. I would wake up in the middle of the night and just rip them off, 'cause it hurt so much (considering that your teeth are moving, it makes sense, but jeeze.) Also, not only do your gums get sore, but your teeth, right up to the root get really sensitive - just tapping it gently would hurt. That was a real danger sign to me. \nAfter about 3 days, I didn't notice anymore pain, and I had noticed my teeth gaps closing. (My tiny ones at the bottom had closed completly). I was happy about that, however when I would brush my teeth, they'd open again. What's up with that? I wore them all day, and whenever I'd take them off, they would up open in less than an hour. Also, as they pull 2 teeth together, they create new gaps on the other sides of your teeth. Forget the answers to the FAQ on the website, it isn't true. At least not for me. \n\nThe results are *very* temporary. Very makeshift. And I think the reviews on their *very* cheap looking website are either fake or extremely biased. The only way I could imagine this working is if you plan to continue buying and wearing them for the rest of your life, or at least a very long time. I had read a customer review on another website, and someone mentioned that they had been using them for 6 months, and whnever they stopped the treatment,  the gap re-opened.\n\nThe reasons I've decided to forget about them are basically due to fears about root and gum damage. Also, the chances that the results would be permanent are quite low. Why would people get braces if there's a product like this out there, and why isn't this product more publisized? I was also a bit scared that I would close the gap, then when I stopped treatment, the gap would open larger than what it was to begin with.\n\nI wouldn't suggest them. Just love yourself the way you are, and as inexpensive as they may be - sweetness, save your money, if you haven't bought them already. Buy some chocolate, or some dental floss or something. lol ;)\nConsider dental surgey otherwise.

this might sound a little out there.. but i once had a dream that my front upper tooth fell out. however, i thought nothing of it, but three days later, i found out that my pastor died. it was an accident and after i came back from the funeral, i randomly went online to interpret my dream and i found out that the UPPER tooth falling out means that someone older than you is going to die and the LOWEr tooth falling out means someone younger is. this was really hard to believe for me. i try to think that it was a coincidence.... but you never know. i am not a superstitious person.. and even after this experience, i am not. however, i still hope that i dont have any more dreams where my tooth fall out.

When I purchased our practice long ago, we took over from a retiring dentist.  There was one family Iremember the mom was all over us, "She wanted to know who these new kids were?"  Well we saw the girls, it was one question after another.  We finsihed the exam.  Each girl had 6-7 cavities.   She wanted  us to show her, so we did as best we could pulled out the X-ray, tried to cam a full year of radiography into a 30 second explanation.  pocked the little pocky thing(exporer) into some stick spots.  Well needless to say they never came back.  They even went so far as to call the previous owner and tell them how agressive we were.  Turns out the previous dentist was terified of the mom and dad,  She had always been all over him and over the years  he just wanted to get them out of the office whenever they came in.  He under treated unintentionally because of the mother and father.  \n\nAs far as your situation, look, if you don't trust your dentist, ask him to show you the cavity.   Whenever I sense that a patient is not confident in my diagnosis. I'll stop in the middle of the procedure get my intraoral cameral and take a snapshot of the lesion.  ust to re-assure the patient that he has made the right decision.  Ask your dentist if he can show you the cavity.  We love questions.  Good luck\nThey are your teeth, you have the right to ask questions.

Heavens to Betsy!  You should ALWAYS look a gift horse in the mouth.  It may need enough dental work to bankrupt you.

I don't know what I can say that will help you but I can reassure you that you are not the only one. My ex disappeared for the first 6 yrs of my son's life and then reappeared acting like he was the best dad in the world. He constantly contradicts what I say (ex.: my son has dental sealants and can not have sticky candy because it will rip them off but he insists my dentist is a head job who doesn't know what she is talking about, he also tells him he doesn't have to listen to the stupid things I say, that my son doesn't have to be responsible for anything -he's 10, and so on). He also created a tape using one of his friend's to play for my son. The contents consisted of this impersonator telling my ex that I did not love my son, I did not want my son, my ex could keep my son, etc. My ex also has no problem with my son seeing pornographic materials lying about his household. My son told of this and more to a Children and Youth Services agent who told me even though what my ex was doing was inappropriate it was abuse. Now for the grand finale, I stopped my ex from seeing my son for 3 months because he informed me he moved back in with his child molesting mother whom my son was to have no contact with and while the investigation was taking place and I was trying to modify the custody arrangement. During this time he filed contempt charges against me, initially sending to the wrong address (one that didn't even exist) so I missed the first hearing. I later received a visit from a constable telling me if I didn't go to the next one I would be sentenced to jail. I had proof that he sent it to the wrong address before we had the hearing. At the hearing my ex couldn't decide where he was living or for what amount of time, stated I had denied him my son longer that occured, and brought forth info that his mother was recently forgiven for molesting her sons (my ex and his brother). The judge decided that he knew my ex had lied about the extended time but I was also in the wrong because I should have known (even though I lacked the resources to find out and frankly my ex should have informed me since he knew, I forgot we are still supposed to wipe their asses even after we are no longer together) that his mother was forgiven for her most heinous act and that he was no longer living with her. Never mind the fact that we had contact since I stopped letting him take him  and my ex could have mentioned it, never mind the fact that my ex couldn't even figure out where he was living, and never mind the fact that not once did I tell my ex he could not see him, that he could not take him, I WAS STILL IN THE WRONG. I was in the wrong for trying to protect my son. My fiance summed it up nicely, the courts are currently favoring the men. The court does not take the child's welfare into consideration just what they want as they are deciding.

I don't know if he'd like it, but maybe try 'Aim'? Or just go to the dentist and ask.

Sounds like he needs to see a gum specialist- I believe they are called periodontists. Good luck with that! Hope he gets better soon.

Although he is sometimes very disrespectful in his comments about "us as assistants," he's a dentist. Try to value his opinion somewhat if you can. We all understand your point though, and it's quite alright if you don't want his opinion. Call your own dentist if you have one, and obtain the information you need there. If you do not have a dentist, you can call 1-800-DENTIST for a referral.  \n\nBy the way, I read that response too, and I didn't think it was very nice either, but I'm getting kind of used to it. He attacks my responses nearly every time I post one. I try not to pay attention anymore. I just do my best to help you because there may come a time when I need advice and don't know where else to turn. And I do tell everyone to whom I respond to contact a dentist for the best advice regarding his/her dental health.

That would be better if he would have gone to dentist, which could be corrected by orthodontist very easily, which would have taken 5 to 6 months for its correction.\n         But as for now since he is already filed his teeth, if he does not have sensitivity ,that indicates he would have trimmed only enamel of his teeth which does not cause any problem,he need not bother much. if he has got slight sensitivity that means he had trimmed it to 2nd layer of teeth n hence let him use sensodent toothpaste for symptomatic  relief n let him take good care of teeth since its more prone to develop tooth  decay.If he has got severe sensitivity or so called pain, that indicates damage is close to inner most layer of tooth ,called dental pulp, which needs to be treated by dentist ,which may go for root canal treatment. Anyway you ask his symptom n decide accordingly.
