Question 1

can erupting 6 year molars cause headaches?

Accepted Answer

Not really: While anything is possible, children do not normally complain of a headache merely as a result of erupting teeth.

Question 2

i just had my lower wisdom teeth and top six year molars removed 5 days ago. how long can i expect pain and stiffness? my right side seems to hurt wor

Accepted Answer

Post Op: You are still well within the range of normal post op discomfort. However, especially since you report that one side feels worse, you need to call your dentist and ask to be seen to evaluate your condition.

Question 3

can six year old molars cause neck pain?

Accepted Answer

Not really: No molars will not cause neck pain in 6 years old.

Question 4

my two year old is getting in his six year old molars and he already has his full set of 20 toddler teeth. should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

Possibly.: The 6 year molars, also known as the first adult molars, typically come in at ages 6 or 7 years old. If they are coming in at age 2, this is far out of the normal range. The very first thing i would recommend would be an appointment with a children's specialist called a pedodontist to verify that indeed, what you see are the first molars.

Question 5

5 year old right ear pain, fever off and on, throwing up sometimes, and cheek pain on same side as ear...also has 6 year old molars coming in?

Accepted Answer

Exam needed: With these complaints not much can be done without examining your child.  Please goto emergency department ASAP.   Take care -----

Question 6

can adults have dental sealants applied? i know that dental sealants are usually applied on the 6 and 12 year molars, but i never had that done. i have some deep grooves in two of my molars that are just about impossible for me clean. could i have sealant

Accepted Answer

Yes : Yes an adult could have sealants placed, but is it necessary? It might be a good idea for you if you are cavities prone and you really cannot clean those deep groves. However, if you have not had cavities in those grooves by age 32 there might be an easier way to keep you teeth free of decay like flouride treatments.

Question 7

do children need sealants for both six year and twelve year molars? i never had sealants as a kid, was told by a friend that our daughter will probably need sealants placed on both her six year and twelve year molars. is this likely the case?

Accepted Answer

As : As prevention is always better than treatment sealants are a good idea for any molars that have deep grooves and are exposed to the elements. This is especially true if your daughter is cavity prone.

Question 8

what can my 4-year-old get his molars crowned?

Accepted Answer

Restate the question: We are not able to provide an answer for your question in its present form.  Four year olds can indeed have their teeth crowned.  This is usually done when there is extensive decay, to save the deciduous (baby) tooth.  Ask your dentist to clarify your understanding of your child's needs.

Question 9

is it weird if my two year old still doesn't have molars?

Accepted Answer

Not really...: Boys tends to take longer to erupt their molars than girls...we don't know why. Pediatric dentists deal with not only years but 'years and months.' If your child just turned two, then this is normal but if they are approaching three years old, I would have them evaluated by a dentist.

Question 10

my  9 year old son had to have a 2 molars removed as they were very rotten will they grow back?

Accepted Answer

Depends: If these were "baby" molars, then there is a new tooth underneath which will erupt and replace the removed teeth.  If these were neglected adult molars, then they will not be replaced.  Check with your dentist about which category your child falls into.
