Hi everyone,
I need help with my teeth. I am only a young teenager and i haven't been to the dentist for 2 years. But i only recently discovered that a part of my tooth root is showing, and Ive come to a conclusion that either 1. the gum has eroded away to show the root. or 2. The tooth is being pushed out by another tooth underneath. This tooth is only a baby tooth, and i have a loose canine next to it, but what worries me also is that the canine has been loose since January 2008, and it still hasn't come out. I haven't noticed because there has been no pain in the gum or teeth at all, and it isn't loose.
Could someone please tell me what's going on, and how i should go about it.
thanks
Rhody
