I think it is called an "eye" tooth. It
is on the top and not one of the first 4
front ones, but the next one over....
Sorry... I don't know the tech. Terms.

My mother is 39 and still has one of her
baby teeth. She has no problems with it,
it just never fell out. All the times she
has gone to the dentist he has never been
worried about it. I would think that it
still got live roots because its still
white. So I wouldn't worry too much about
it, unless it starts turning a different
color.. Then you might want to get it
taken out.

The dentist said they could pull it out
and drag the other tooth down into place.
Ewww. That just doesn't sound good to
me. Or he said just leave it alone for
now as long as it is healthy. But i've
heard from other people here and there
that sometimes something like this can
cause a cyst and other problems in the
mouth and sinuses since the adult tooth is
still up there in the gum.

You can try to retrieve the tooth.This
will also requre you to wear braces on
some of your teeth for a while.How old are
you??If you are over 30,this usually will
not work.If you are 25 or under,it might
be worth the time,money and effort to do
this,make sure you see a qualified oral
surgeon and orthodontist-not just a
general dentist.Sometimes,when these teeth
are brought down,they become
non-vital(dead) and may need a root canal
or sometimes they do not survive all the
trauma of being brought down.Make sure
that the dentist tells you all the pros
and cons before you proceed,you may be
better off having the baby tooth and the
impacted tooth removed and an implant
done.However,if your baby tooth is okay
for now,you can leave it until it becomes
a problem.Best of luck to you.Feel free to
pm me if you have any more questions.Patty

Sorry,didn't see in original post that
you're 33.I would have a consult with an
oral sugeon and have an evaluation and an
x-ray (panoramic x-ray will show that
whole area).If you do not have any cyst
formation,your next step is to be
evaluated to see if you are a good
candidate for orthodontic treatment in
that area.A good orthodontist should be
able to tell you if she/he thinks that
treatment will be successful.If that is
not an option,you may want to see if you
could have an implant after removal of
both the baby tooth and the impacted
tooth,the implants are ususally done by a
periodontist.Good luck to you.Patty

I am 20 years old. Everything from my
eye or k9 teeth back are still baby teeth.
I even had braces several years ago.

Baby Teeth

Same here. I'm 16 and I never really
kept track of how many teeth I lost
because it was so infrequent. I have lost
6-8 of my top teeth and 6-8 of my bottom
teeth. I have had two teeth pulled
because they grew out beside the other
teeth (they were left for 6 months to see
if they would come out naturally.) and my
dentist has never said anything about it.
My molars don't fill my mouth though and
it gives me a pretty bad overbite. . I
have very good teeth even though I had a
fair amount of antibiotics as a baby but
they just never fell out. I've never had
any cavities or extra sensitive teeth or
anything. The first 8 teeth (4 top and 4
bottom) fell out when I was about 8 but I
just haven't lost many since then!!

My ex-husband has one baby tooth right
next to the one "the author" talks
about.
All the back teeth not coming in that is
so strange, but cool. No set facts in
science. I wonder how many of you really
have the adult teeth underneath--and how
many dont!!??

If anyone has an answer to my question
that would be great. I have 2 impacted
eye teeth they do not bother me but I
recently went to see an orthodontist and
he said they could try to pull them down.
This would take 6000.00 and 2 1/2 years I
am only 23 going to school and with a 1
1/2 year old son. The dentist isn't even
sure if he can get them I don't want to
waste the money he told me that my baby
teeth would fall out before I was 30 but
then I found this site?

Im a bit late on reply, so you might not
read this, thought i would reply anyways..
I had 3 of my baby teeth pulled and they
attached wire to the impacted teeth and
pulled them down so they lined up (i had
braces) It hurt alot! id say unless it
really bothers you, or starts hurting,
just leave them alone, if there gunna grow
in than they will, if not, there not doing
much harm! And if you do decide to do it,
id check out diff orthodontists, 6g. seems
like alot. Mine cost about 4 after
everything was done, and i had to have
ALOT of work done. Most of my teeth were
sidways, and in funky spots, head gear,
jaw widener, the whole works lol
Good luck to you all!
