loose piece of your gum hanging over a tooth?

Is this your wisdom tooth? this usually happens with wisdom teeth because they tend to go up and down sometimes for a long time and can be painfull I know, I had the same broblem. eventually it will go away or they may need to extract them. either way, you won't have to live with this forever.

If your tooth is loose it probably means that infection has surrounded the root of your tooth and not even a root canal can save it, if there is no other option but to pull it, go with the implant if you have the money, if not, i would recomend the small partial(at least until you save for an implant) because if you go with the fixed bridge that means that your adjacent teeth would have to be filed down and thats not a good idea unless they have decayed also.\ntake care, bye.

Use an ice cube. It will make the gum hard,  it should come off with a little work. Kinda like with wax. I hope it does.

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!

It is possible for a piece of the root tip to break off and there is the possibility that it was left.  See your dentist so he or she can take x-rays to determine what exactly is going on.  An oral surgeon is generally very thourough so this is not extremely common.

It sounds like the hole in your tongue is too big for the stud.  You should get a bigger stud.  A much bigger ball might work, although it could also be too much of a mouthful.

Hey I was thinking that it sounded more like a penis. Is it a penis? I've never squirmed while brushing my teeth. My toothbrush doesn't really hang loosely either.

It depends on the teeth around that one.  You may loose strength to nearby roots if you loose that tooth.  I am 30 and lost a back one on the bottom (and the dentist damaged the gum in that area).  Honestly only prob so far is every once in a while a sharp chip may get stuck back there, ouch.  Been out for like 6 years.

The gum base component in it makes chewing gum sticky

Go see a dentist ASAP... if they're loose, you're going to lose them.

I'm a dental hygienist.  It depends on how big the "chunks" are that your losing and whether or not its tooth or an old filling.  If its tooth then you probably have a lot of decay and it would be best to get it checked out before the decay gets too deep and you need a root canal and a crown.  If the decay is small, you might only have to get a filling.  Only the dentist will be able to determine that.  But I wouldn't wait for it to get worse.

RUBBER BANDS ARE USUALLY USED TO CORRECT  A BITE... NOT TO MOVE A TOOTH.  THEY HELP CORRECT AN OVERBITE OR AN UNDER BITE.  A WIRE TETHER IS USUALLY USED TO PULL DOWN A TOOTH FROM THE GUMS.  I AM NOT SURE WHAT HE IS PLANNING FOR YOU.

You can rub a little bit of whiskey on it ... or ambesol.  Check with a dentist .... may be time for them to come out.

Yes. Go see your dentist and he'll fit you for a mouth guard. It feels like a retainer.

well. white fillings are bonded in. silver ones are held in by undercuts so you dentist felt it would hold better. if it is that big, you needed a crown not a filling. anyway....it sounds like you fractured your tooth, if so and the fracture goes to pulpal floor (where crown meets roots) it is nonrestorable. even a root canal wont help. go back to your dentist.

if ur teeth do not rest on top of each other then most likely u have an over/under bite.  Of course the best person to ask would be ur dentist
