Question 1

i have a loose tooth at the side, believe its called a bicuspid tooth, what to do?

Accepted Answer

Determine cause: Once the cause of the looseness is determined, then a treatment can be prescribed. See a local dentist for advice.

Question 2

what can be done for a bicuspid tooth in 9yr old?

Accepted Answer

Depends on : The problem. If just decay then a filling should do. If deep decay then perhaps removal of some of the decay with a sedative dressing being placed to allow the root to finish formation and in 6 months a final filling with removal of the remaining decay, sometimes a root canal with apexification so the root finishes forming. As always brushing is paramount.

Question 3

doesextracting 1 bicuspid tooth (premolar) for an overbite cause negative effects?

Accepted Answer

Depends: tooth removal generates room to move teeth into orthodontically, but this case needs to be evaluated by a trained clinician to justify the removal

Question 4

what are the chances of teeth moving into the spot in which a bicuspid tooth was extracted ? 21 years of age ?

Accepted Answer

Low chances: Studies show that tooth movements occurred at a decreasing rate between 18-35 years of age.  Your  jaw stops growing around 18 years of age.  That said, healthy teeth can be moved at any age with orthodontics.  The odds that the gap would spontaneously close is very unlikely

Question 5

upper premolar teeth gap can be maintained without worry of toothache?

Accepted Answer

Grand canyon: If a tooth is removed in the middle of an arch, the surrounding teeth tend to collapse into the space provided. Teeth in the opposing arch over-erupt into the space.  This can destabilize and allow flaring of anterior teeth.  Teeth out of position can "clash" and become sore, wear down, fracture.  Talk to your dentist about replacement to prevent these unfortunate circumstances.

Question 6

Accepted Answer
