My left front upper tooth is the 4th tooth there. When my baby teeth fell out, three teeth grew back in the front two teeth. so, the dentist pulled them all out, and new teeth grew back, making the left front tooth the 4th in that position.

well there are atleast 56 types of tooth numbering systems which are used by dentist all over the world though only three of them are popular nowadays, they being\n1. zygmondy palmer system\n2. universal system\n3. F.D.I system\n\n\n\nPalmer Notation Method\n\nAdults\n\nIn this system, the mouth is divided into four sections called quadrants.  The numbers 1 through 8 and a unique symbol are used to identify the teeth in each quadrant.  The numbering runs from the center of the mouth to the back.\n\nIn the upper right section of the mouth, for example, tooth number 1 is the incisor (flat, front tooth) just to the right of the center of the mouth.  The numbers continue to the right and back to tooth number 8, which is the wisdom tooth (third molar.)\n\nThe numbers sit inside an L-shaped symbol used to identify the quadrant.  The "L" is right side up for the teeth in the upper right.  The teeth in the upper left use a backward "L."  For the bottom quadrants, the "L" is upside-down.  The quadrants may also be identified by letters, such as "UR" or "URQ" for the upper right quadrant.\n\nChildren\n\nIn children, the Palmer Notation System uses uppercase letters instead of numbers.  Following the same order as for adult's teeth, children’s 20 primary teeth are lettered “A” through "E" in each quadrant.  The same symbol is used to identify the quadrants.\n\nUniversal Numbering System\n\nAdults\n\nTooth number 1 is the tooth farthest back on the right side of your mouth in the upper (maxillary) jaw.\n\nNumbering continues along your upper teeth toward the front and across to the tooth farthest back on the top left side (which is number 16).\n\nThe numbers continue by dropping down to the lower (mandibular) jaw.  Number 17 is the tooth farthest back on the left side of your mouth on the bottom.\n\nNumbering continues again toward the front and across to the tooth farthest back on the bottom right side of your mouth (which is number 32).\n\nIn this system, the teeth that should be there are numbered.  If you are missing your wisdom teeth, your first number will be 2 instead of 1, acknowledging the missing tooth.  If you've had teeth removed or teeth are missing, the missing teeth will be numbered as well.\n\nChildren\n\nIn the original system, children's 20 primary teeth are numbered in the same order, except that a small letter "d" follows each number to indicate deciduous (primary) teeth.  So, a child's first tooth on the upper right would be 1d and the last tooth on the lower right would be 20d.\n\nHowever, most dentists and insurance companies now use a modified version of the Universal Numbering System for children.  This version uses the letters A through T instead of the number 1 through 20.  So, a child's first tooth on the upper right would be A and the last tooth on the lower right would be T.\n\nFDI Two-Digit Notation\n\nAdults\n\nIn the FDI (Fédération Dentaire Internationale) World Dental Federation ISO-3950 notation 1s are central incisors, 2s are laterals, 3s are canines, 4s are 1st premolars etc., up through 8s which are 3rd molars.  The permanent teeth  quadrants are designated 1 to 4 such that 1 is upper right, 2 is upper left, 3 is lower left and 4 is lower right, with the resulting tooth identification a two-digit combination of the quadrant and tooth (e.g. the upper right central incisor is 11 and the left is 21).  The lower left permanent first molar is 36; however, it is not said thirty-six, but rather three six.  11 is one one, not eleven.\n\nThe currently accepted convention to view the FDI notation chart is from the perspective of the patient's right on the left:\n\n \nPermanent Teeth \nFDI Two-Digit Notation\n \nupper right                             upper left \n18 17 16 15 14 13 12 11 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 \n48 47 46 45 44 43 42 41 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 \nlower right                              lower le

Hi yes this has happened to my friends daughter recently.She still had her baby tooth but behind it the new tooth had started to grow.My friend was worried that the baby tooth wouldn't come out or that the new tooth would stay further back on the gum. However it was all ok , the baby tooth came out on its own in the end and the new tooth moved forward to fill the gap.

Yes, your daughter should go to the dentist but only for a general checkup appointment and cleaning. The baby teeth fall because the permanent teeth push them through the gum, so is just natural for them to come out as the same time your daughter is losing her baby teeth.\nAlso, when the baby teeth come finally out the root sometimes is missing since the permanent have been pushing it all the time and the pressure cause the baby teeth to be incomplete when it finally falls.\nBelieve, there's nothing wrong with your daughter as this process in completely normal.\nGood luck!\nP.S. Excuse my english, is not my native language

because people have 32 teeth and once a teeth is gone .. they are gone ... we never have our teeth grow like many other parts like nail, hair...

At 5-6 years of age you will notice the 2 bottom front teeth pop through called the permanant mandibular central incisors and the 6yr molars also called the permanent first molars which erupt in all four quadrants of a child's mouth (upper right, lower right, etc.) behind the last baby tooth in each quadrant called a 2nd year molar or a deciduous 2nd molar.  Get sealants on the permanent molars as they erupt if no decay is present. \nCheck this website out:  http://www.sdcoe.k12.ca.us/smiles/fallout.pdf\nhttp://www.umanitoba.ca/outreach/wisdomtooth/tooth.htm

ahh this is complicated ...when teeth are produced, there are made by an epithelial structure that is calldes the dental lamina. this structure gives birth to teeth then is eaten by other cells. If it isnt well eaten, it can give birth to little pearls calles epithelial pearls, and these pearls give birth to new teeth.

The 4 mm probably refers to the depth of your gum pockets (the space betwen the top of your gums to the alveolar bone that holds your teeth. Your dentist would measure this with a probe.\n\nIf your pockets are deeper than 4 mm then it means that you have had bone loss  which is usually caused by periodontal disease (an infection in the gums). The best way to prevent periodontal problems is to brush and FLOSS your teeth regularly (brush at least twice a day for two minutes). \n\nI emphasize flossing, because often people don't realize just how important it is. The contact between the two teeth are where food are most likely to get stuck, and therefore where bacteria sticks most often, too. The purpose of flossing is to really clean that surface where two teeth touch. So instead of focusing on just making the floss go down between the teeth, you want to follow the sides of your teeth to make sure you remove the plaque. So you should be going up and down two to three times along the tooth on both sides of the contact.\n\nHope this helps!

It is not terribly uncommon for adults to still maintain one or more of their baby teeth.  This could be because the adult tooth never developed to push the baby tooth out and replace it or it could be that the adult tooth is impacted below the gums.  Definitely don't ignore the problem... get in to see your dentist as soon as possible for an exam so he or she can recommend the necessary treatment to you.

I'd get it checked out by a dentist.  My dad had two sets of wisdom teeth that had to be removed in a hospital...so it is possible to have "extra" teeth come in.  Good luck!

I do now they replace their teeth every 6-8 weeks allowing the front row to drop out and a new row to come up behind. They typically have 2-4 rows of teeth showing at any one time. This means that the shark goes through thousands of teeth and hundreds of rows in a lifetime.\n\nThey must shed atleast 50,000 teeth then...if you're counting. Its one reason why prehistoric shark teeth are the most commonly found fossils.

Doctors have time and again emphasized that there is no normal or abnormal sequence of teeth eruption. These differ quite often. In case of my daughter after lower central incisors, upper central incisors erupted but then any sequence is fine.\n\n\n\nThere are 20 primary teeth in all, 10 at the top and 10 at the bottom. The most common sequence for the primary teeth or the milk teeth is : Lower central incisors first, then the upper central incisors, then the lower lateral incisors and then the upper lateral incisors. However, this sequence is by no means fixed.\n\nCheck out good sites with map:http://www.mypediatricdentist.com/babyteeth.html\n\nhttp://health.yahoo.com/topic/oralcare/baby/article/healthwise/popup/zm2755

I think the #3-#4 issue is just coincidence.  I wonder if you have a sinus infection, though.  The roots of these teeth are literally right at the lower border of the sinus.  You might even have a sinus perforation, which is not uncommon with #3 extractions.  Take a deep breath of air, pinch your nose and try to blow the air out through your nose.  Don't use a crazy amount of force, but just enough to see if the air holds in your nose or if it is leaking into your mouth.  (Yes, that's right.)  If it is getting into your mouth, you need to have this opening closed by an oral surgeon.\n\nAt a minimum, I suggest that you might need an antibiotic to clear up your sinus, which may have a lingering infection from your tooth.  (Biaxin or Zithromax are a good choice for sinus infections.)

Could be a number of things already mentioned here.\n\nBaby teeth don't always fall out before the age of 10...My nephew is 12 and still has about 5 or 6 baby teeth. Baby teeth can fall out a few at a time as the bigger adult teeth coming through behind them pushes them out of the way.\n\nAs you don't eat a lot of sweet things..do you make sure that you floss and brush properly?\nIf not then start and don't let up.\n\nGet your mum to take you to the dentist at the earliest you can to rule out any gum disease.\n\nMy dad brushed his teeth all the time but developed a gum disease called Pyorrhea and his teeth fell out when he was 17.\n\nSo get to the dentist before you have NO teeth left!

Don't worry.  Sometimes big teeth erupt before the baby teeth are ready to fall out.  Give it a couple of weeks, especially as the tooth is already loose.  If it puts your mind at rest, take her to the dentist.  When I was 9 yrs old, I had 6 teeth removed as my mouth was overcrowded with both sets fighting for space.

Sounds to me like they are partially impacted and if this is the case, they are never going to fully erupt.  Get to an oral surgeon so he or she can extract them for you.  Keeping them could cause problems with your other teeth as they are pushing against them and this could cause crowding or even decay on the tooth it is pushing against as you aren't able to clean this area very well.
