Wtf is up with my teeth....?
yep its normal!





i was 17 about to turn 18 when i got my braces and they had to pull of my baby teeth cos they weren't looking like they were going to come out anytime soon!





not everyone loses all of their baby teeth young. just go to the dentist and get him to check that it actually is a baby tooth and there is one underneath to replace it.
Reply:Of course it is. You can get lose teeth all through your teens.
Reply:NO!





you should have lost all your baby teeth by now.





It will probably not grow back.





did you get hit in the mouth?
Reply:No


Its not possible to loose teeth at 17. Unless you smoke, have rotten teeth ( and dont brush them) , or get hit in the mouth they are some reasons the way you could loose your tooth ( teeth) You should not loose teeth at 17
Reply:You should go speak with a dentist and get their opinion because I believe that is not normal.


Most people teeth and/or tooth is loose because another one is trying to grow in what ever spot the tooth is loose in.


For example, my two front teeth are loose because one of my adult teeth are trying to grow betwween them and the reason that that adult tooth is there in my gums is because a baby tooth did not come out. Basically, talk to you dentist.
Reply:yes it is you people! everyone is different. Just becuase you lost all your teeth at 10 doesn't mean it's like that for the rest of the world. geeze, ignorant much!?





but yeah, don't worry. It is probably a baby tooth, I mean, can't you tell by what it looks like? you can loose teeth very late like little ol me ( :
Reply:Where is the loose tooth?? The last teeth you lose as a child are your molers (the larger teeth at the back). They tend to come out around the age of 12 or so. But maybe yours have just taken their time. See the link :http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/...


Maybe you could describe which tooth it is??


Does it look smaller that your other teeth?? As you still may have a 'baby' tooth which may indicate that you don't have any adult teeth below it so it has never been pushed out. This is really common and often genetic so ask your parents, aunty's, uncles, older cousins, or older siblings if they have this genetic condition called Hypodontia.





Other reasons whould include:


- decay, but you don't mention that it hurts.


- damage to the root of the tooth, by impact however the tooth usually discolors.


- If it is the last molar at the back of your mouth it may be due yo your wisdom tooth (3rd molar) erupting.





If you are still worried about it I would suggest a trip to the dentist..





Keep smiling :-)





It sounds like you either:


1. have an unusual arrangement of your teeth, so space in your mouth is compromised leading to delayed eruption.


2. Have hypodontia, and so you still have a 'baby' tooth.





I would recommend going to your dentist as they will be able to put your mind at rest, as it could just be simple gum inflammation, which can be treated with good oral hygiene and good brushing technique. I hope you get a diagnosis. soon...
