What to Do About This Orthodontist?

So my daughter has completed her “phase one” of orthodontic work to fix an overbite. During that course of treatment, starting around the age of 10, she had 6 teeth pulled. The first two by a dentist and the other 4 by a oral surgeon with laughing gas. After the first teeth pulling my daughter was beyond traumatized so that is why we spent the extra dough to have an oral surgeon do the next recommended teeth to extraction. Now 2 years later, we are in the limbo phase before the 2nd phase where the orthodontist wants to put braces on...

Getting 17 Month Old to Brush Teeth.

My daugther allowed us to brush her first 2 teeth when she was 7 months old but after she got her top two at about 10 months she has grown more and more resistant to allowing us to brush her teeth. Now at 17 months she freaks out and has a meltdown every time. We have tried different brushes, playing games, watching in mirror, letting her do it first but it always ends up my husband holding her arms and me trying to get in her mouth. She acts like she is scared, hurting, mad that were invading her mouth??? I have no idea why she gets so...

Cavities, Cavities, Cavities!

My daughter is 6 years old and has multiple cavities with each trip we make to the dentist! She has already had 2 teeth pulled; 4 fillings and needs to have 3 more. We brush twice a day, floss and fluoride rinse at bedtime; she mostly drinks milk and orange juice (she's not a big water drinker, but we also don't buy soda or other sugary drinks). She doesn't eat sweets excessively either--obviously she enjoys them (she's a kid!), but I don't buy them often and we reserve them for special occasions or as an occasional treat. I am feeling...

What to expect if my toddler chipped his tooth?

My 18 month old chipped his tooth this morning. The poor kid didn't hurt himself, but the chip looks horrible! I know I need to take him to a Pediatric Dentist, and I did get a referral from my Pediatrician for one. But, I just wanted to ask if anyone's child has chipped there tooth at such a young age and what should I expect when he sees the dentist? Will they bond it? Do you think they will be able to take care of it without having to put him to sleep? I can't imagine having to do that just because it looks bad if there is nothing...

Should I Take Him to Urgent Care?

My6 yo son has been vomiting since Sunday night. I had some leftover antinausea medication leftover from the last virus, and it just doesn't seem to work very well. I took him to the pediatrician yesterday, and she prescribed the same medication we have been giving him. If he sits up or walks, he vomits. He has been laying on the couch for the last four days, missing school. I tried to take him to school yesterday, and he didn't even make it to class. The pediatrician diagnosed gastroenteritis from norovirus. The pediatrician said he was...

Grinding Teeth at Night

My husband and I both grind our teeth at night while we are sleeping, but for me, it has started giving me headaches again. I don't feel like I am stressed about anything so I don't think this is the cause or anything. My dentist told me once before that it was just a nervous subconc. habit and that there were things I could do, but then it went away. Any suggestions on mouth guards or whatever else people do to stop the headaches and the grinding down of the teeth?

Off Topic: Wisdom Teeth Poll

I read an article about wisdom teeth. It indicated that 80-95% of the population have wisdom teeth (apparently there isn't a lot of wisdom tooth research/statistics) and most of those people, 70%, have them removed. So do you have your third molars? Did you have them removed? Never had them? I don't have any wisdom teeth. They never developed. Lucky me! Or maybe that means I'm a fool. My mom has all four of her wisdom teeth. No problems. My sister had three and had them removed. My dad had his removed. My husband has his and...

Daughter Upset About Loosing Teeth

Help! My seven year old daughter has been a complete wreck since loosing her first tooth two weeks ago!!! She won't eat, brush her teeth, or smile, and will only talk if absolutely necessary, but purses her lips together so that no one can see that she has lost a tooth. She doesn't really want to play, just mopes around the house. She has spent hours crying. She lost another tooth this week, and we went through the same drama. Clearly, she is not herself and is depressed over this. She tells us that she doesn't want to look ridiculous...

What Does the Tooth Fairy at Your House Do with the Teeth?

The "tooth fairy" at my house has been saving the lost teeth collected. I get completely grossed out by teeth and have a complete fear of all things dental so I don't know why I'm saving them. But for some stupid reason I don't have the heart to throw them out. What does the tooth fairy at your house do with them?
