In which order should a child loose her tooth??

A child normally loses it`s teeth in the following ascending order--\n(1) lower front 2 teeth (central incisors)\n(2) upper central incisors + lower lateral incisors(ones beside the centrals)\n(3) upper lateral incisors\n(4) lower canines(next to the laterals)\n(5) upper 1st molars\n(6) lower 1st molars + upper 2nd molars\n(7) lower 2nd molars + upper canines

You'll want to get that baby tooth out ASAP--they can effect how the permanent teeth come in. Either have him wiggle it out or take him to the dentist to have them removed. Good luck

I think it was common for kids to have fillings 30 years ago, but now it's not as common because of fluoride in the water etc. I'd say it would be relatively normal for 8 year olds to have a filling or two, but 6 sounds like quite a lot, maybe you should watch what she's eating and how she's brushing her teeth, and maybe speak to the dentist about sealants?

you leave it alone and let nature take it's course. baby teeth are there to make sure the adult teeth are in a good alignment with the gums and other teeth. to try to "speed up" the removal of the baby teeth is to expect future dental vists for braces and other cosmetic surgeries.

Just like taking a first step varies in children, so do losing teeth.  But generally around the age of 4-6.

The dentist suggests the braces. The parents make the decision to go through with it or not.\n\n.:Lark:.

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.

DO NOT GET A BITE APPLIANCE MADE FOR A YOUNG CHILD!!!\n\nI can not state emphatically enough that you should never, ever consider getting (or making) an appliance to stop tooth grinding in a five year old.  This would stop proper growth and development of the jaw where the appliance is worn.\n\nIt is my opinion that baby teeth are designed to be worn away as the jaws grow and develop.  This allows for different growth rates and it allows for the accommodation of the permanent teeth with their much more pronounced cusp forms when they start to come in.\n\nYou may wish to ask your dentist to check for underlying problems, but 99% of the time - if not more - this is just part of being a five year old.

hey Chrystal,\nyour question i a bit hard to answer cos i dont exactly know what condition Your childs teeth are in. if the decay is really deep and has affected the pulp of the tooth(the pulp is like the heart of a tooth-with blood vessels and nerves)then it could be bad-infections such as an abscess could result.this would most definitely need to be a reason to get the offending tooth out.if not much infection is present she mayneed what is known as Root Canal Therapy..\nif its only the top layer of the tooth that is affected then a simple filling or no treatment at all may be required!\nu must understand though that the so called milk teeth are extremely imp.extracting a tooth way before its time to fall off could lead to something known as Tongue thrust-the child gets into a habit of pushing her tongue out into the space previously occupied by the teeth.this could cause the permanent teeth to flare out when they erupt.not to forget speech disturbances like lisps. \nbaby teeth help align the newly forming teeth which are yet to erupt irregularaity in the permanent teeth could result such as crowding which would need crazy costing Orthodontic treatment in future.\nthe root of the tooth is just above the germ of the permanent tooth which couldget infected if left unseen to.\nradiographs(x rays) maybe required to tell U with kind of treatment your girl needs.see that she rinses her mouth especially after eating sticky candy n before going to sleep.\nhope i was of some use to U. take care

Serious question: I consulted with Tooth Fairy and she told me that if the child has been brushing his/her teeth properly and if he/she does not eat a lot of chocolate, she might consider Indian Rupees 100( about US $ 2.2) for the first tooth and half of that for the subsequent ones.

I think it sounds about right to me.  When my brother had to take his tooth out from his gums (it was stuck or something) he had to get braces first.  They'll probably just prep the tooth by spacing your teeth apart, and then pull them back together with your implant.  And besides, why not want perfect teeth? I got my braces off a month ago and my teeth are stunnign!

The first set of teeth are called the "milk teeth". The permanent teeth come in behind the milk teeth. This is called the mixed dentition stage. With pressure from the permanent tooth, the root of the milk tooth gets dissolved / eaten away, and the milk tooth then falls to make way for the permanent tooth. \n\nIf the permanent tooth is placed too far away, it will erupt even without the predecessor falling, as there is no obstruction, and then we see double teeth, a new tooth behind or by the side of the old one. Such a situation should not be allowed to remain for long, say more than a couple of weeks. Timely removal of the milk tooth in such a case will allow the permanent tooth to take its rightful place.

Your dentist should def. be able to tell the difference between a primary tooth and an adult tooth.  Depending on where it is located and what size it is in comparison to the other teeth.  Some people do not get a permanent tooth in one or more places, thus the baby tooth stays present in the mouth as there is not another tooth under it pushing it out.  The roots on baby teeth resorb so they can get ready to become loose and come out to make way for the adult teeth.  Even though there is not a root present the tooth can still remain in the mouth for several years, sometimes a lifetime if you are careful.  I have seen grown men with a primary tooth still in their mouth.  Maxillary perm molars (upper, back teeth) have three roots, and mandibular perm molars (lower back teeth) have two roots.  Depending on where this tooth is should tell your dentist if it is a primary or permanent tooth.  Some people do have their permanent tooth roots resorb for some reason, in this case if the tooth becomes loose then they would have to have an implant.  I know of a case where this happened to a lady in the dental field, she has excellent home care, it just so happened that a back molar root resporbed leaving the tooth loose, so she had an implant placed.  I am sure there is a way for your dentist to find out one way or another what is going on in your mouth.  Insurance companies can be very picky so don't give up, keep trying.

I'VE SEEN THIS MANY, MANY TIMES. THIS MEANS THAT THOSE OTHER TEETH ARE THE ADULT TEETH ERUPTING, AND  THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT. THE BABY TEETH OUGHT TO LOOSEN ON THEIR OWN. IF THE ADULT TEETH KEEP GROWING, AND THE BABY TEETH ARE STILL THERE, THEY SHOULD BE REMOVED TO ALLOW THE ADULT TEETH TO GROW FREELY. =O)

She may have something going on that requires some early intervention.  Two-phase treatment is used frequently to correct major issues early.  She would have brackets on a few teeth and possibly some other type of appliance, like a palatal expander, for 9-12 months.  She would wear retainers for some time time afterward.  The second phase would begin when all of the permanant teeth are in and it would typically take  18-24 months, with retention afterward also. \n\nNot everyone who goes through early treatment has to have braces later.\n\nA second opinion never hurts.  You could also ask her orthodontist if this early treatment is absolutely necessary, or if everything can be addressed when all of her permanet teeth are in.

Well you can keep your baby teeth if you don't have adult teeth growing in to take their place but usually your suppose to loose them and grow your adult set of teeth. So it all depends

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.
