Q: my 17 m/o:runny nose <1 week, sometimes congestion. no other symptoms. teething? seasonal allergies? just finished first molars. other allergies?

Nasal congestion: At that age, numerous factors can make the nose runny and congested, frequent viral infections, teething, indoor allergies to dust and pets but unlikely seasonal outdoor allergies. If the symptom persists, consult an allergist.

Q: how can you tell the difference between your baby molars and adult teeth?

Yes: You can tell because baby teeth look different than adult teeth. They are usually smaller versions of the adult tooth. If you still are not sure, visit your dentist and he or she can tell by looking at it or taking an xray. There you can also find out what happened to the adult tooth.

Q: does everybody lose all theirr baby teeth, even the molars?

Usually but...: You are supposed to lose all your baby teeth, but some individuals who do not develop 1 or more permanent teeth to push out their corresponding baby teeth, retain their baby teeth well into adulthood. X-rays reveal the development of both baby and permanent teeth so ask your dentist if you have all your permanent teeth developing.

Q: i'm 17 and i still have baby teeth i've never lost any molars and the teeth beside the molars is this normal?

Not normal: You must see a dentist who will take a panoramic radiograph (x-ray) and see if you have any permanent (adult) teeth below the gumline. If not, they will determine the best course of treatment as baby teeth are not meant for a lifetime and may breakdown over time.

Q: should we extract baby teeth molars, in a 7 year old, if the adult teeth are not present underneath?

Only if a problem: Not if there isn't anything wrong with them.

Q: for children, are molars permanent already at the first grow or are they baby teeth and need to fall out?

Primary teeth: The first set of teeth that appear are the primary teeth and will be eventually lost and replaced by the secondary teeth. This exchange starts at about 5.5 years old and can continue into the teens for some children. Your child's dentist should be able to advise you further.

Q: my 15 months old baby girl has developed upper and lower molars and the front teeth has not yet developed. is there any problem with her?

No front teeth: It&#x27;s unlikely there is any real concern. Although very late in development, they may still be there. It&#x27;s also possible they are congenitally missing and may never develop. I assume she is otherwise healthy? If possible, a visit to the dentist who can take some x-rays to determine development would be in order. Even if baby teeth are missing, permanent teeth may develop normally.

Q: is it normal for a six year olds second top molar to be loose?! it is about to come out. has 6yr molars - looks like that one could be pushing it out? has lost all front teeth and got teeth early as a baby. no trauma he can recall?

: At about the age of six children start to loose the "baby" teeth at the front of the mouth and the first permanant fromt teeth and the first molars start to errupt. The deciduous molars (baby molars) usually are lost a little later and it does sound as though they are ahead of schedule. Please see you dentist and ask them to check and advise you.

Question 1

for how many days can you give tylenol (acetaminophen) in a row for teething pain to a one year old infant? i have only given it two times at night. more than one molars are coming in back to back.

Accepted Answer

Check w pediatrician: While tylenol (acetaminophen) is generally safe, you should always review with your child's pediatrician/pediatric dentist for specific issues, as they are most familiar with your child's medical history.

Question 2

is it possible for a 3 month olds molars to come in first? baby is teething stuck finger in mouth felt hardness and a knot on back gum.

Accepted Answer

Don't expect it: You can feel that hardness back there for years before the molars actually come in. Infants often gnaw on their fingers because it feels good. Anything that touched their mouth/lips is pleasurable. We are made that way so babies will latch/feed long before they figure out feeding is important. Expect the lower central incisors to be first, although there is some variability.
