Missing tooth?

my tooth number 18 is missing! what should i do?! i cant afford to get a dental implant??

Missing tooth?
When a person is missing #18, the only options to replace the space in a implant or a partial. A partial is only a good option if you are missing teeth on the other side #30 or #31 in your case. A partial will rock back and forth if it is not even on both sides. I'm sure you already know that doing an implant is pretty spendy, but it is your best option. Also if you haven't had your wisdom teeth removed there is a possibility that tooth could erupt into #18 place. Lastly you could just leave the space as is. You may become custom to the space and learn how to function without a tooth there. Good luck!
Reply:That's not good. How long has it been missing? That could influence what you could do with a tooth replacement. You can get a partial denture. A partial might not look or feel the best, but, if you get a partial the other teeth will not begin to shift out of place. Since this tooth is a 2nd molar; people will not be able to see it missing. Also, partials have also changed, they are not all metal anymore. Good luck in what ever you choose to do!
Reply:first off justin r - a 18 is a third molar not a second one - you should consult with your local dentist to seek his recommendation as a different alternatives suit specific cases

Dog - missing tooth?

i just noticed that my dog - my baby is missing a front bottom tooth....he isn't a puppy. he doesn't seem to be in pain. what should i do - why do you think it may be missing????

Dog - missing tooth?
Maybe your dog ate a hard dog food (Greenie,TastyTreat,Big Dog food). Maybe your dog doesn't feel pain because it happened a year ago . You should go to an expert vet. or just a vet.
Reply:ask ur vet
Reply:By six months old, most canines have their adult teeth. If your dog is around this age, that's exactly what's happening.
Reply:Puppies lose teeth, just like little kids. If you're really worried, check with your vet, but it's normal. Enjoy your puppy!
Reply:So long as there is no open spot where the tooth was, he should be just fine. If there is a whole, then I would probably bring him to the vet to have it looked at, they may want to put him on antibiotics just to make sure it doesn't get infected. Do you play tug with him? A lot of dogs lose their front teeth from this, especially if they were loose to begin with. Depending on his age, bringing him into your vet for a dental may not be a bad idea.
Reply:It is really no big deal now. But tell your vet and I am sure it is ok. My dog has half a tooth since he was a pup. It broke. It is one of his fang teeth. Not a problem.
Reply:Dogs swallow their teeth if they lose them (baby teeth) and it doesn't give them any pain. So I'd check with a vet if it wasn't a baby tooth.
Reply:u need to brush dogs teeth not with people tooth past though look on ebay im a dog groomer so i get it in dog books not ebay so look on ebay good luck
Reply:dogs and animals all loose their teeth just like we do my aunts dog had to get surgery cause her teeth and her jaw was rotted that could be another reason you have to clean a animals teeth or they will rot and fall out just like ours now to prevent it from having pain of eating just buy some soft food in a can or if you have a blender put milk in it (not a lot)about a cup and put the hard dog food in there then just blend it and if theres extra food you can put it in a contanar and then put it in the refrigeratar and the next day take it out put the food in the bowl put a little bit more milk in it and stir then your dog can just eat it
Reply:Has he lost that tooth yet? I think that dogs lose teeth like humans and then they get adult ones. He may have lost it chewing on a bone WAY too hard, I don't really know much about dogs.
Reply:Since it is not a puppy, even thou he is not in pain, might want to have your vet to check him out. Just to make sure it is not some type of dental or gum problem. Good luck!
Reply:my dogs are 10 and 7 . the 10yr old lost a tooth and the vet said it was because he was just old . said he was fine and we went home he said dogs have 42 teeth my dog only has 10 at this time but he is still going strong. but the older your dog gets the more their teeth need cleaned.Dogs have 28 deciduous teeth (temporary) and 42 permanent teeth.
Reply:One of my dogs does not have teeth. When I adopted her at age 4, her teeth were worn down from living outside and we presume from either biting her chain or a fence. Our vet said it is not a problem for her. I would talk to the vet if you are concerned. Our vet said dogs don't feel pain in their teeth like we do.
Reply:My older dog is also missing a front tooth in the top though.I believe it's normal they age...teeth rot.

How many teeth does one have to be missing to become a carny?

and are there any other requirements?





i saw one the other day that had 7 teeth and almost spoke in complete sentences. was he overqualified, or are they just raising their standards?

How many teeth does one have to be missing to become a carny?
A carny only needs one tooth to talk to people , it is a requirement that the the tooth be in the front " top or bottom". Now the people working behind the scenes need no teeth, they have no people contact and as long as they can put there lips around a bottle of whiskey all is good
Reply:To be carny, you need to have enough teeth missing to fill a car! Hahaha get it?
Reply:whats a carny?


they sound a strange race lol
Reply:What the hell are you talking about hunny ???


The Crackhead squad is out in full force today !!!

Reply:The requirement is at least 10.





But some people cheat the system, and black out some of their teeth to look even more repulsive.
Reply:Lmao.......I'm terrified of Carnies....
Reply:You need to have teeth like a Harley motorcycle gear box....1 down %26amp; 4 up
Reply:6. And according to Austin Powers, they smell like cabbage. lol!
Reply:you need a minimum of 6, a maximum of nine.


you have to have at least nine toes, and be able to stand on one leg balancing a bowl of dirty water on your head, whilst reciting the national anthem of bulgaria





wtf is a "carny"?
Reply:You need the equipment too;

Air rifles with bent barrels.


Superglue - for the coconut shy.

Help on my missing tooth please?

I have a missing front tooth and its bothering me a lot when i speak or smile. i have a denture on but i would not like it to be permanent, as i do not think my future partner will like it. Due to the missing tooth, the part of gum with the missing tooth is quite visibly darker than other parts of the gum where it wraps around tooth, hence stretched and visibly lighter. The upper edge of the fake tooth is protruding as it is not underthe gum but slightly outside. I'm currenlty considering a bridge but unsure if it will still look unnatural like dentures or perfenctly natural. Therefore, i appreciate your advices in clearing my doubts. thanks

Help on my missing tooth please?
Hi Goodman. I've been in dentisty for over 20 years and your age is a factor here. You must be done growing to have a good solid implant and the jaw is shaped for a good appearance. You have three choices. The first one is the removeable denture, which is not a pleasant or best for romance. I've had patients upset because the partial feel out while their were sleeping and their partner found it in the bed. That doesn't not happen often, but can.


A bridge means your dentist will have to cut down the teeth on each side to make a 3-4 unit bridge to replace the gap. I recommend 4 so that all the teeth look the same and have the same color and shape. However, bridges need to be replaced every 15-20 years and can come loose. Also without proper hygiene and constant care, the teeth underneath can decay over time as the protective covering has been removed and replaced with a metal/porelain tooth material.


Ideally, speak to an Oral Surgeon and consider a dental implant. The cost would be the same for the 3 unit bridge and you don't have to hurt the teeth on each side. A dental implant will last until a nuclear explosion as it is made from titanium and with care of the gums, will outlive you. These are a one shot deal and last for life unless you break the porcelain, but easy to replace. So this is your best option. Speak to an Oral Surgeon that has expereince with FRONT anterior inplants. They are a bit tricky so that the tooth looks like if emerges from the gum, so experience is important. Good luck! ~M
Reply:Hi! Implants rarely fail if you follow post-op instruction, don't smoke and practice good oral hygiene. I have 9 and never had a problem. Good luck, is the best IMO. ~M Report It

Reply:Put a Chicklette in there.
Reply:You can go for an inmplat supported prosthesis which is best for anterior missing tooth, secondly a bridge prosthesis can help you a lot.
Reply:Well it sounds like the other one the dentures is so much more of a hassle , and doesn't look real , and you have to take it out and clean it , and when u kiss you can tell. So yes get the Brig in it will look so much better.
Reply:consult a good dentist as soon as possible. Your age has got to do a lot with your chances of recovering. If you r below 14, or something like that you do not need to worry. But if you r above 16 or 20, I suggest, immediate serious action is required.
Reply:If you can afford it, go with a dental implant. If done properly, it is indistinguishable from a natural tooth. Proper brushing and flossing will keep it strong and healthy for decades just as long as you go for your checkups every 6 months.





I would have a periodontist who does implants as part of his daily practise do the work for you. A periodontist is a specialist where the health and esthetics of gum tissue are concerned. This expertise will not only get you a new tooth that looks great, but the gum tissue around the tooth will look great. If you go this route, make sure you have the periodontist inspect your implant every six months after surgery just to make sure that the gum and supporting bone remain healthy. She might suggest a different recall schedule, but at least I have informed you that it is a prudent measure to take.
Reply:I agree with health buff a periodontist is the best way to go. I am going to see a dentist after the 1st for some questions that I have and I have heard that he doesn't mind educating his patients by answering their questions. Dr. Peabody in Santa Cruz
Reply:yes it certain wil affect a bit but aft a few wks u get use to it will be all rite dun worry!
