Question 1

if i have acid erosion on my front teeth. will the acid erosion continue to get worse if i am wearing a upper soft biteguard? i am a bad mouth breather.

Accepted Answer

Not much: Your bite guard will protect your teeth from the wear caused by grinding.  It will not protect your teeth from the acids in your diet, such as soda ( even diet sodas are acidic) or from bulimia  or from gerd.  You may have a dry mouth from mouth breathing and this can cause additional tooth problems.
Talk with your dentist and your md about this concerns.  Md can help  with gerd  and breathing.

Question 2

my little girl (3 years old) has an erosion in her front teeth... is it something serious ???
why is that happening to her teeth?

Accepted Answer

ToothFairy'sRevenge: Does your little girl walk around with a bottle-plus-nipple of apple juice in her mouth? Does she drink soda? Does she suck her thumb? Suckers? Candies? Lemons or other sour foods? Ever had any trauma to that area? Brush regularly?Chew gum? (hope not) In any event, she needs to be seen by a dentist to see what's what.

Question 3

i don't want 2 big front teeth no more?

Accepted Answer

See a dentist: Explore your options ranging from extraction to cosmetic reshaping. Express your concerns and see if there is a good solution. Good luck...

Question 4

why are my two front teeth of different sizes?

Accepted Answer

Width or length?: If different widths, probable genetic cause.  If different lengths, probably malocclusion.  See your dentist and ask if you should see an orthodontist or if it is a problem that would be best resolved restoratively.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Closing spaces: The orthodontist is trying to close spaces for your front teeth.

Question 6

how painful is it to get a shot in the front teeth?

Accepted Answer

Not very: With modern techniques such as potent topical anesthetics and excellent technique along with modern delivery systems such as the dental wand, local anesthetics anywhere in the mouth can be done comfortably with little to no discomfort.

Transparent teeth: That depends upon the cause. For example, if due to lingual erosions?  Yes. If just a variation of shading? No. See your dentist to have this evaluated.

Question 8

needing expert help. i have box elastics on my front teeth?

Accepted Answer

Please resubmit...: I'm sorry, but the question is not clear. Were you given a box of elastics to use on your front teeth but not sure what to do?  Or did your dentist place some elastics on your front teeth but you are not clear on why?   Please re-submit your answer. Once your answer is clear, we may be able to help you.

Question 9

tingling nerves in front teeth?

Accepted Answer

front teeth: Have you been using whitening gel, had a blow to the front teeth or other recent concerns?  Have you seen a dentist to evaluate the teeth to check for potential reasons for the tingling?  An x-ray of the front teeth will help to diagnose or rule out nerve damage. See your dentist if you haven't. A sensitivity tooth paste may help alleviate the feeling, but is not replacement for the dentist to ck.

Question 10
