My family has a history of missing teeth. And a friends daughter had the same thing happen. All her top teeth were "missing." They actually moved to one spot under her gums and won't come in. Yes, when they give her braces they will have enough space to add an artificial set of teeth in with her regular teeth. And she can get bridgework done to complete the look after braces come off, or like me, she can have an implant. Hard thing for her to go through at this age.

That's a dead tooth, you need to see your dentist. The tooth will probably have to be removed and replaced.

It could but probably wouldn't harm her. But certainly her whole mouth woud hurt.  If it is only her teeth that hurts it is probably because she bite too hard on a hard surface

I think there are invisible braces now. They fit over your teeth like a retainer. You get fitted for them by your orthodontist and they come in sets that you where for a few months each.

i dont understand why she would get so mad about having a cavity, its not your fault.  seriously, it all depends on the type of teeth you have.  i brush my teeth twice a day, floss, and use mouth wash but i still get cavities every now and then.  on the other hand i know people who dont take care of their teeth at all and have never had a cavity...its not your fault and she needs to understand that.  and im sure that your brother would be more than happy to help you out, and actually if your mom doesnt help you out that can be child abuse.  if she knows that you have a medical problem and is not helping to take care of it she can get in trouble.  but, if your brother cant do it (which i think he can) try and get an aunt or an uncle or a grandparent to help you out.  but, if you cannot get anyone to help you you need to tell your mom.  your gums can get infected if a cavity is left untreated...your teeth will fall out, you can have some serious things go wrong if its not helped.  is losing your teeth worth keeping your allowance and a few weeks of not being grounded?  im sorry your mother would get mad at you for something you cannot control, but im sure she'll get over it and you need to take care of your teeth.

Teeth!!!!!! Unless you're 6 or something. My nephew certainly doesn't have that many. Actually, I may not either.

well if you say you have as many problems with your teeth as you do, i would say ya, you need braces. Keep in mind though, you may not just get bottom braces. If your teeth do a lot of shifting when you get them, they wont align with the top teeth, so you'll have to get the tops ones as well.

Sometimes wisdom teeth are broken apart before they're removed to make the process easier than pulling the entire tooth out at once. In that case, there'd be no teeth to keep. But, if I was given the option, I'd keep one of them.\n\nAs far as getting them removed or not, that's something you'll need to talk to your dentist about. Depending on the structure of your mouth, it may not have room to allow for the extra teeth. If that happens and they aren't removed, either (1) your wisdom teeth will end up becoming impacted, meaning they don't (fully) come to the surface like they should or (2) your teeth will become crowded, meaning the wisdom teeth will push your other teeth out of alignment to make room for themselves. As you can see, neither scenario is great, particularly (1), as impacted teeth can cause infections, swelling, pain, and nerve damage.

You can always get clear braces (I know a few adults who have them and you can't tell they have braces unless you really look).  It can never hurt to boost your self-esteem, so if you feel it will then go for it!  It's nice that your husband loves you just the way you are though!

You will get a gum infection. And your teeth probably will change from the position there are in now.

You should definately get a second opinion. I wouldn't do sedation, that's a bit much. And like you said, she is going to be losing those teeth anyway. Before I agreed to that, I'd need a logical answer as to why it's important for her teeth to be capped at such a young age and I'd need to get the same answer from multiple dentists.

Where are the teeth missing.  tooth development is pretty complicated,  All molars form from a single bud that kind of migrates back and sprouts four teeth.  Sometimes thing go hay wire and people are missing all the wisdom teeht or 3rd and seconds.  and every variation imaginable.  So there is nothing really else to know, except it happens all the time.  \n\nBut here are some key words for you to look up.\ntooth buds, Meckels Cartilage\nGood luck, hope you find what your searching for.

I know someone who was in a similar situation, and they went to a different dentist and paid that dentist a small fee to remove the braces for them.  You don't have to have the braces removed by the same dentist who put them on.

yes. \nthese teeth will start getting replaced by permanent teeth only by the age of 6-7-8 yrs...till then, they are essential to maintain the shape of the jaw arches and act as guides for the permanent teeth to erupt. once the decay starts, it is necessary to clean the tooth as only in rare situations decay gets arrested on it`s own. the child`s nutrition might suffer if the teeth are not restored to health.\n\nthe temporary (deciduous/milk) teeth act as blueprints for the permanent teeth and maintaining their health is as vital as that of the latter.\n\ntake care of the kid`s oral hygiene...so just dont get the treatment done but get all the advice from the dentist for future precautions and any other health conditions the child might be sufferin from that is affectin the mouth as well....

If you can't tell her straight try this...Tell her about your dentist app. Tell her what the dentist told you and ask her what she does with her teeth. That will open up the dialouge for you to give her advice or you dentist's #.

AS AN ADULT, THIS TOOTH WILL NOT MOVE WITHOUT ORTHODONTICS. W/O BRACES OR W/O INVISALIGN THIS WON'T BE POSSIBLE. MANY ADULTS HAVE BRACES NOWADAYS SO GETTING BRACES OUGHT NOT KEEP YOU FROM WANTING TO GET A JOB. THEREE ARE CERTAIN DENTAL FILLINGS (COMPOSITES) THAT CAN ALSO BE PLACED TO CLOSE A GAP. BY THER WAY ORTHODONTIST NEVER PULL TEETH - - THEY REFER YOU TO YOUR DENTIST FOR BABY TOOTH EXTRACTIONS.

If you don't go to your regular visits your teeth will not continue to be perfect. You need to go to your check-ups so the dentist can make sure that your teeth and gums are healthy. Don't get nervous, they aren't going to do anything that hurts, just remember that.
