How do I tell if my loose tooth is a baby or adult tooth?
I'm 15, soon to be 16, and my top right kanine tooth is loose. I don't remember it happening, or when it happened, but I have a small chip taken out of the bottom of it. I tried to leave it alon but it's just getting looser. I thought if it was a baby it would have come out by now. It's been a couple months. We don't have dental insurance and I'm really worried, please help?

K9s come out when your very young to that is an adult tooth. But maybe you grew cause teeth shift naturally. Or you have gum disease, or you got hit in the face

Can a dentist help my periodontitis?
I have periodontal disease. I've never gone to a dentist because my family has never had dental insurance, along with the usual feelings of fear and embarrassment. My gums have receded and I've tried to keep the disease from getting worse by brushing all the time and using Listerine. I called a periodontist's office, but he's booked until June. I'm scared to wait that long. The lady told me to go to a dentist, but I know that my problem is more so for a periodontist and not a regular dentist. I know I will probably have to have root planning and scaling. Will going to a dentist be even worth it? I'm scared to wait any longer, but I need to go to a periodontist, but all of them in my area seem to be booked up for at least a few months. I know it's not at the beginning. I guess it's moderate to severe. My teeth don't seem loose or anything like that, but I'm still scared out of my mind, especially since I can't seem to get to a periodontist soon.

seek out a dental clinic in your area. some hospitals have them. or u can go to a dental college. they go by what u can afford, u may be able to pay nothing. a periodontist would help. to keep from losing your teeth, everyday take vitamin c and calcium w/ vit. d. luck to u.

At what point should a wisdom tooth be removed?
I know not everyone needs to have them removed. I am asking because i have been noticing one of mine coming in. I would say its been like this for at least 3 months. It doesn't really hurt that bad, but my mouth is sore for a day or two and then it goes away. I would like to know how important it is to get it removed. I don't have dental insurance right now and I am worried this tooth is going to cost me a lot of money i dont have. :(
--------------------
Some people can keep their wisdom teeth, but it depends on the effect they are having on the rest of your mouth. So what i suggest is go to the dentist for an evaluation. Although most general dentists do not extract wisdom teeth (some can but most don't), they can probably tell you whether or not you have to get them removed. A lot of dentists will have a free consultation or exam and i would try that. one that is free is at aspen dental ( for the coupon go to http://www.aspendental.com/coupons/freee… ) But if you are told you have to get them out don't fret. Insurance generally takes a while and wont cover pre-existing conditions, but you would be eligible for a discount dental plan. The difference between those and traditional insurance is that they start immediately, they cover pre-existing conditions, they a cheap to get some are just 6.95 per month, and they work for major procedures. And from the situation that you have described that sounds like a good fit for you. The plan I personally recommend is at www.1Dental.com. Its the cheapest to get started right away. But another plan you can check is the Aetna Dental Access Plan. But again. get a consultation/exam, because if you do need to get them removed and you wait, it will just cause more problems that are more expensive. Hope that helps.

How can I strengthen my teeth?
I'm 25 years old and am not sure that the "drink milk" solution will still work at my age. Also, I don't have dental insurance so going to the dentist for procedures isn't really an option. I'm just looking for practical, inexpensive solutions to get my teeth back on track.

Have you personally had braces after the age of 30? How long did you wear them? Can you tell a huge differen
Can you tell a difference? I'm hoping that by age 32 I will financially be able to FINALLY afford braces. My teeth are not too bad but they are a little crowded. My mother is wanting me to have veneers put on and has offered to pay $4200. She thinks my teeth are also yellow. I'm think a better idea would be to get braces and pay for the in-office whitening. My dental insurance will not pay for either option.

I am 51 years old and I have braces. It's something I always wanted to do as an adult and I finally did it. My braces come off this month after 20 months of treatment. Yes, there is a huge difference. My braces were close to $4,500 and I pay $200 per month. Don't put it off any longer. I would go with braces and in-home whitening. My orthodontist's office recommended the Crest Premium Whitening method. Good luck.
