If I lost my 2 front teeth, will things ever be the same?

Yes, you would be amazed at the technology.  I had most of one of my front teeth knocked out.  My dentist did a repair, not replacement, and the last one he did has lasted a decade.  I eat everything I always have.

Not necessarily but it could mess your teeth up for sure.

in the neighborhood of 5000 with both arches but since you already had them- you might check with your old orthodontist. possibly, he may have alternate ideas for your treatment such as a retainer

Not unless you pulled out the whole root of the tooth.  Otherwise, it will just be another loose tooth which will give you a terrible toothache.

It is not just a question of getting your perio disease under control as someone else put it.  It depends on this yes, but also how much bone you have lost.  If you have lost a large amount of bone support, then braces are def. not a good idea.  Your teeth are already susceptible to movement from lack of bone support, put braces on these vulnerable teeth and you might be doing more harm then good. Yes you may have straight teeth for a while, but at what cost?  If you are moderate periodontal disease then I am sure you have lost some bone support.  How much is only what your dentist can see on the x-ray.  You had braces in  high school in which the orthodontist moved your teeth, now you have periodontal disease In which you have lost more bone and ligament support, then say you get braces again after your perio therapy, that is a lot of movement through-out your life.  If I were you I would research carefully all of the pros and cons of getting braces when you have periodontal disease.  Think about how your teeth have shifted since high school.  This is not just from not wearing your retainers, this happens with perio too.  So if you go and have braces put on again, go through the expense, and guess what, your teeth have shifted again.  What then?  I would be very careful, like I said research, research, so you can make an informed decision, not a blind one.  Good luck.

I would hope that everyone does. I brush mine morning and night, that's all that's necessary, but the more, the better. It is important to. My parents made sure I knew it was since they're both had dental problems, my dad's lost most of his because he didn't take care of them properly.

You may be able to have your two front teeth capped.  When I was younger I lived in an area with really bad water and it left a line on my two front teeth.  I wouldn't smile EVER!  I just hated it so much....my mom took me to a dentist and he told me about caps....they basically kind of cut down your tooth, they don't generally pull them, and then they can put an enamel cap over your tooth and seal it and nobody can tell you have had it done!  It was wonderful and I finally started to SMILE  :)  The dentist can also color the enamel in order to match the color of your teeth so it doesn't look fake...trust me...you don't want to have your two front teeth pulled but just call around and ask about getting enamel caps for your front teeth.  I'm sure the dentist will need to do an overall check first and he can then give you options.  Ask friends and family about their dentist - always ask questions, it's your money and it's your mouth...so make sure you feel comfortable with whatever the dentist wants to do...You know, I'm sure there are new procedures I don't even know about since my teeth were done many years ago.  And just in case you are wondering, no they don't fall off and you will SMILE, SMILE, SMILE!  Hope this helps.

Ana23, I think they are call dentures.\n\nI think I heard it somewhere that if you live long enough\nyou might start to grow new teeth. I don't know if that's true though.

Depends on how your teeth are now.  Do you have several teeth that can be saved?  Do you have teeth that are all rotten and need to be extracted?  If you have a mouth full of rotten teeth, and can't save any of them, then of course dentures would be something to consider.  Health wise it is awful to have all of that infection going on in your body, and lets face it rotten teeth look bad and make you smell bad.  However if you only have a few teeth that need pulling and the rest could be saved then I would def. consider that option.  Save as many as you can, and financially can afford too.  Then instead of having no teeth and a denture which sometimes does not fit so well, you can have some of your real teeth and a partial which fits better.  Once you remove all of your teeth the bone starts to disintegrate and you end up with a sunken face, and loss of good chewing ability.  Yes dentures are the only option for many people, but ask most people with complete dentures if they had it to do over again and they could save some of their natural teeth they say they would save what they could.  Dentures can be ill-fitting,hard to adjust too, decreases your sense of taste, rub sores on sensitive gum tissue, sometimes cause a gag reflex in people, and just don't function as well as natural teeth.  You will have to have them relined over the years, and the cheaper ones have a high incidence of breaking or cracking and sometimes can't be repaired without getting a whole new denture.  Yes they can be very nice looking, but what about function?  People have better luck with upper dentures then with lower.  There is more to hold an upper denture in, the palate of the mouth is comp. covered by an upper denture, the suction helps keep it in place.  A lower denture is another matter.  As I said before you lose bone when your teeth are extracted, on the lower all you have left after all of your teeth are removed is a small bony ridge, this is not much to hold a lower denture in place.  Many people have trouble with a lower denture slipping when eating and talking which of course can be quite embarrassing.  Ever seen Americas Funniest Videos when they have the people who have had their dentures slip out?  Not fun.  At least save some of your lower teeth if you can, and then you can have a partial made to hook onto the teeth you have left.  If you can't save too many teeth, then save the lower ones, and have a full upper denture.  If you can save some on the upper and lower, then this is even better.   You may even look into dental implants if you have the money and bone support.  I promise you save what you can, you will be better off in the long run, not only looking good because you still have some teeth and bone support left to give your face some structure, but quality of life as well by being able to eat your food properly and being able to speak well.  Good luck.

Yep. It can be done.\nThere are prostheses (artificial replacements) available for the same and u can get them done from either a Prosthodontist or an Oral Surgeon.

You loose 20 teeth. You will loose two primary (baby) molars on each side, you got them at age 2 and 6. Many people think they are permanent but arent. If you are concerned, call your dentist, ask them to look at your chart (if you have been in for regular check ups) and see if you have any baby teeth. How old are you? This would help me. Good luck. If you are under 30, I would say they most likely are not loose due to periodontal disease. If you are under 15, they are most likely those baby teeth I formerly described. Do you have teeth behind theese? How far behind your canine (eye teeth are they) you loose your front four, your canines and two teeth directly behind your canines. Look and the mirror and count. How many molars does it look like you have. You should only have more than two permanent molars in each quad (upper right/upper left, Lower right/Lower Left) if you have your wisdom teeth. Hope this helps. Can you take a digital pict and send it to me? I could telll just by that. Good Luck

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.

You can't keep them from falling out. If there are no permanent teeth to push them out you could keep them for many years.Primary teeth typically get root resorption so that there ultimately isn't any root in the bone to hold them in. Dental insurance usually won't cover congenital problems so that really won't help you. When you do get insurance you could look into implants or a bridge to replace them. Don't worry about it there isn't much you can do.

I dunno except maybe get a dentist to check it out to see if it's really bad. I had something like that with a lot of my teeth and didn't think anything of it til they got so loose I lost a few. I freaked when one of my top front teeth came out. Finally had to just get them all taken out cuz it was gonna cost way too much to try to fix and not even garanteed to work.
