There Is No Permanent Tooth?



Has your child lost their baby teeth but there is no permanent tooth growing in. This is a congenital malformation that impacts 20% of people with their molars, and 5% with secondary premolars or lateral incisors. This is an inherited trait and can disrupt the natural smile. Each one of the teeth are unique and have a specific job.  If certain teeth are missing from the smile, other teeth may move into the place of those teeth causing more problems for your smile long term.

There is no need to panic. Dr. Cameron Fuller and his team recommend that if this is a problem that your child faces you will want to contact the dentist in order to set up an appointment.  There are several different options that may be appropriate for your child depending on which teeth are missing from their smile. Placing artificial teeth in the spot can ensure they have a beautiful smile for a lifetime, but also ensure that their smile does not have a collapsed appearance from teeth moving into the wrong position.
 
An artificial tooth and the options will also be dependent on the stability of the teeth around the missing tooth, how many teeth are missing and orthodontic measures may be needed in order to hold the place until the implants can be placed and restored.  For more information on this, contact Dr.Cameron Fuller.
