My 8 yr old has had a loose baby tooth since February. She says that it hurts and she can’t chew on the right side of her mouth without having a lot of pain. The tooth wiggles but it doesn’t really look like it’s about to come out. My daughter won’t let me or my husband yank the tooth out. She has tried loosening the tooth with her tongue but that doesn’t seem to help. I am concerned about her pain. I am wondering if I should take her to our pediatric dentist to get the tooth pulled.

Dona,

In the process of losing a primary tooth, the ligaments repeatedly stretch and retighten before the child actually loses the tooth. It may time a little more time for the tooth to fall out. It is not unusual for it to take months for a tooth to fall out once you notice that it is loose. After the tooth falls out, it will take several months before the new one completely erupts.

Prematurely pulling the tooth can traumatize the site. Also, the primary tooth helps to guide the permanent tooth that follows it into the right position. It also reserves the space for the primary tooth. If the primary tooth is extracted too soon, the process may not go as smoothly as it should.

If your daughter is having a lot of discomfort and pain, an appointment with your family dentist may help. He or she will examine and evaluate the tooth to determine if it is healthy and loosening correctly. Your dentist can determine if the tooth needs to be extracted or if you need to give it more a little more time. Meanwhile, your dentist will give you tips on how to make your daughter a little more comfortable while the tooth continues to loosen.

My teeth are a mess and they are way beyond just whitening them to make them look better. No 2 teeth are the same shape. They look like they all came from a different mouth LOL. I really need help. I don’t know which way to go – with veneers or crowns. I don’t want a dentist telling me I need crowns when I need veneers, but also I don’t want the reverse. I am not sure who to trust and since I am making such a large investment on my smile it better look good. So what kind of things do I need to know to find the best dentist to tell me if I need crows or veneers? Thanks Ismaila

Ismaila  – If you want to find the best dentist in your area, you may be able ask friends, family members, or co-workers for recommendations for a cosmetic dentist who does beautiful work.

Don’t just take their word for it, though, do a little homework first. Check out each dentist’s website, review his or her credentials, and look for a smile gallery on the site so you can see before-and-after pictures of the dentist’s work. After you’ve narrowed your selection to two or three cosmetic dentists, schedule a consultation with each of them. The consultation will give you time to meet the dentist, ask questions, and decide if he or she is the right provider for your case.

In addition to any personal references you get, mynewsmile.com is a great resource to find some of the best cosmetic dentists in the country. The site is sponsored by a retired cosmetic dentist who carefully screens dentists for their training and credentials before they are listed on mynewsmile.com

If you can, be willing to travel a little to find a cosmetic dentist who can give you a beautiful smile.
