my child had her front teeth pulled, how long will it take for her new teeth to grow in?

How fast your childs teeth come out depends on weather or not they are visible yet, family history and her own body's particular eruption pattern.  If the adult teeth are  already visiple they will have an easier time erupting.   I've had some kids come through the practice where the skin heals over  the adult teeth.  The adult teeth can't push throught the skin,  because the child is using the skin to do a bit of chewing so it thickens.  In these cases I have to physically expose the adult teeth so the eruption force can move the teeth into position.  \n\nIn my practice the average age of eruption is 6 1/2 to 7 yrs\nBut I do get the odd kid that comes though with centrals at 5 1/2 or 8 1/2 at the outer limits.

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.

Generally there is no real concern if a baby tooth root is left in the gum. \nLet's divide the answer into two:\n(1) If the extracted tooth were infected, the shorter root may not be broken, but in fact be resorbing, or being eaten away, by the infection. If that is the case, better the tooth is out.\n(2) If the extracted tooth were not infected, as the subsequent adult tooth erupts, it will eat up the root on the way out, or force it into an area where it can be removed easily.\nGood luck, and congratulate your daughter because she must have been very brave to have that procedure done!

I had all four of mine pulled a month ago. You have to for several days stick to soft foods, brush you teeth lightly and no biting down. My dentist gave me a prescrip for a mouth wash that speeds the healing process.\nGood luck to you.

My son started teething at four months. He was in the 95 percentile, so many development steps were reached faster than normal.

It would depend on a lot of factors.  How much tissue was removed, etc.  As for the bone, if some of it was removed, as in an amputation, it will not grow back.  Follow your doctor's advice, keep it clean, and it shouldn't take too long...especially if you're a healthy person otherwise.  Make sure to eat healthy foods too...good nutrition promotes healing!

My dentist said it could take up to a month to aclimate to the new implant. Had the one done, 2 weeks later would have never known that tooth was ever missing. Had the next one done, and my dentist still didn't understand why it's still killing me after 5 months. It's now been a little over a year, and although it still hurts, it's pretty lowgrade and still improving. But I still think it was worthwhile. Just my experience, hope yours is better.

The procedure is called a pulpotomy, which is a child's version of root canal.  It is a much quicker technique.  The dentist removes the tissue from the root canal of the baby tooth (Yes, they DO have roots until they are ready to be shed when the roots have disolved.) and fills it in with a special cement made for this purpose.  The tooth is then restored with either a simple filling or, if there has been a lot of breakdown, a pre-formed (inexpensive) stainless steel crown.\n\nI'd say, the younger the child, the greater the indication for doing a pulpotomy.  The purpose of this is to save a tooth rather than have it removed.  Baby teeth DO serve a purpose, you know.  The child uses them to eat with.  On top of that, they will maintain the space that is needed for the permanent tooth to fit into the arch.\n\nIf you don't have the pulpotomy performed, the tooth will eventually hurt like heck, as the pulp (nerve and blood vessels inside the tooth) are already inflamed and probably infected.  An abscess can pop up very quickly in a child.  An infection (the abscess) can cause discoloration or even deformity of the permanent tooth.\n\nIf you decide to have the tooth taken out, especially at a very young age, it is very likely that the arch space will close up and there will not be room for the permanent tooth to come in.  It is rather common to see a lower premolar growing in with the crown pointed half-way towards the tongue after one of the baby molars was removed at an early age without being replaced with a space maintainer.\n\nIf there is already an abscess showing in the mouth and if the x-ray shows that the bone between the roots has already been destroyed, a pulpotomy has a lower chance of success.  Since this can happen in a matter of days in a child, do not delay treatment once it has been recommended.\n\nhttp://dentalresource.org/topic57pulptherapy.html

It depends on how many you are having pulled and if they are impacted or not.  I had four impacted wisdom teeth pulled at once and it was very painful. I had to take double the dosage of pain medication.  And my cheeks were very swollen for two to three days.  But I have heard that is is not as bad when you have less to pull and if they have already come through the gum.  Good luck!

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.

take her to the dentist.  They will be nice and help you both.  They'll explain what the white dots are, and maybe they'll even get her to brush.\n  Also, when my boys were at that age they did the same thing, I took them to the store and let them pick out their own toothbrush and toothpaste on their own.  They actually started to brush because they felt it was their decision.   Try this with her.

Bob wasn't very nice. What a crappy comment.  You should be able to get a referral to an orthodontist for your child through her dental office. Lots of orthodontic offices offer free consultations/estimates which can be beneficial especially if you don't have dental insurance. Good luck and don't pay attn. to Bob. Always consult your dentist for the best advice concerning yoru dental health.

Hey hun, try not to worry about it too much. I don't know what the "normal" amount of cavities to get in one year is, 4 does seem like quite a lot to develop in one year, but I guess it depends on a few things really. You said that your mum doesn't let you eat sweets at home, is it only recently you've been eating them at school? If so, that might be why you have a few cavities developing in a short space of time.\n\nPersonally, I think you're done pretty well to get to 15 before you got your first cavities, there are lots of little kids out there who have cavities. So don't feel bad about it, it's normal to get cavities, practically everyone has them, I'm sure your mum will get over it.\n\nI've had fillings in the past, and I need to get a whole load more done soon, don't worry, they're really not that bad. The worst part is the sound of the drilling, I'd advise you take your CD player and some headphones for during the procedure so that you can't hear the drill as much. It doesn't hurt unless the cavities are very deep, because they numb your mouth first. It doesn't take too long to do a filling, but it depends where it is on the tooth and how big it is. They probably won't do all 4 at the same time though.\n\nGood luck hun, and try not to worry about it too much, it's not so bad. And make sure if you're going to continue eating sweets that you brush and floss every day!!!

Primary teeth erupting varies from child to child just like taking first steps varies.  Generally the first teeth to erupt are the lower central incisors at around 6 - 10 months of age.  The remaining primary teeth should all erupt by the age of 2 1/2 - 3.

I have a one year old who has the same teeth, and I have never seen her grind her teeth.  You should ask her doctor if it's normal, and if there is anything you can do to get her to stop.

Not long at all. My son had a checkup 3 weeks ago and had a non-painful cavity that they said was only going to need a filling. Today he went in and they needed to PULL it. It had gone deeper and abcessed underneath. They were surprised and checked his xrays from the 1st visit. He hasn't had sugary drinks or sticky candy.\nCall a different dentist and get in asap. Or see if you can get on a waiting list for canceled appointment times. At the very least, your cavity will get bigger/deeper and possibly cost more if you wait.

It is an abcess, and she needs to see a dentist as soon as possible, if you wait to long she may need a root canal.  It will get bigger and can even burst and come back....(I broke a tooth at age 13 and had a temporary filling that caused it...Had to have root canal and crown...
