Question 1

all of my teeth hurts top and bottom?

Accepted Answer

Need more info: I would need more information to help you out with this.  This could be due to multiple problems, such as dental decay, periodontal disease or grinding of the teeth.  My best recommendation is to make an appointment with a local dentist for a full evaluation.

Question 2

are the top teeth and bottom teeth line up all the time?

Accepted Answer

Yes and No: Your teeth are suppose to line up together all the time, when you move your jaw they line up in a different position, you need to be more specific so we can give you a more accurate question.

Question 3

can your top teeth suppose to slightly over your bottom teeth?

Accepted Answer

Yes.: Normally the upper teeth are in front of the lower teeth by about one millimeter and overlap by 1.5-2 mm in a class 1 occlusal scheme.  This allows for normal wear and function. When the lower teeth are in front of the upper teeth this is commonly called an under bite and should be looked at by your dentist or orthodontist.

Question 4

i'm getting two teeth on the top and bottom removed. how bad does it hurt?

Accepted Answer

Should be no pain: During the extractions, you should not feel any pain at all, but you will feel pressure as the teeth are removed. If you do feel pain, tell the dentist and he will give you more local anesthetic.

Question 5

which is harder to do.. extracting teeth from the top row or bottom? and why?

Accepted Answer

Lower row: That being said with a good surgeon who has good technique the difference should be minimal. The difference is due to the different types of bone between the upper and lower arches.

Question 6

if one makes direct contact top teeth to bottom teeth can they chip their tooth?

Accepted Answer

Probably: This can be a complicated question, but in general if the front teeth are in contact it can cause excess wear and chips. Your acid stomach can speed the process. If this is the situation a night guard will not make a difference. If you are seeing changes in your front teeth, this is most likely the reason.

Question 7

what could be causing all my teeth on the top and bottom left side hurt horribly?

Accepted Answer

Can be many things: Have a dentist evaluate why you are feeling pain on the side of your mouth. It could be anything from grinding and clenching to a periodontal condition or an abscessing tooth (or teeth). It may be necessary to have x-rays taken of the area to evaluate where the pain is coming from.

Question 8

my babys top teeth are coming in before the bottom teeth is that health and normal ?

Accepted Answer

Common: Although there are many charts and diagrams showing time tables for erupting primary (baby) and permanent teeth, the teeth themselves cannot read and follow their own pattern of eruption.  It varies quite a bit and almost always works out without any problems over time.  Enjoy your family and your baby and let nature take its course.

Question 9

should the midpoints of my top and bottom teeth supposed to line up with one another?

Accepted Answer

Yes: The upper and lower jaw should be aligned with the midpoint of the lower teeth in line with the mispoint of the upper teeth.

Question 10

when does a child lose his first four teeth (the top two front and the bottom two front)?

Accepted Answer

Varies: Most children start losing teeth around 5-7 years of age.Each individual is different but most lose the two lower first then the two upper.
