Question 2

what is best treatment for delayed tooth eruption?

Accepted Answer

Depends: If you are asking about a baby, the best treatment is it wait.  If you are asking about someone older, you should see a dentist to make sure the teeth are there and to make sure nothing is stopping them from erupting.

Question 3

what are common causes of delayed tooth eruption?

Accepted Answer

Genetics: Genetics plays a major role in tooth eruption,  other factors are local in nature such as a traumatic accident to the jaw, a local infection or a childhood disease.

Question 4

does fluoride cause delayed tooth eruption or anything else?

Accepted Answer

No: Fluoride is not associated with delayed tooth eruption. If there is excessive Fluoride intake during tooth development fluorosis (a mottling of the teeth) can occur.  This is a cosmetic problem, though functionally the teeth are fine. 
In cases of Fluoride overdose (which would require very high levels of acute or chronic Fluoride intake), other more serious physiologic effects can occur.

Question 5

what causes damage due to these two delayed teeth?

Accepted Answer

Teeth eruption: If by delayed teeth you mean teeth that haven't erupted yet, there is concern for spacing issues with other teeth and your biting pattern or how your teeth fit together when you bite. This is known as occlusion. If you're occlusion is not right you can wear your teeth abnormally and cause teeth to fracture or chip.

Question 6

will the delayed teeth underneath baby teeth push the baby teeth out or will it need to be pulled?

Accepted Answer

Pulled: If the permanent tooth is delayed like you said then the baby tooth would not fall off by its owen .
The baby tooth should be pulled to avoid the need for braces afterward.

Question 7

what is the definition or description of: delayed teeth?

Accepted Answer

Eruption timing: Sequence and timing of eruption of baby teeth, exfoliation of baby teeth, and eruption of permanent teeth is genetically determined.  Delay in any of these steps can be affected by genetics, health of the dentition, position of teeth, and tooth size/arch size relationships.  Delay can result in malocclusion.  Pedodontist's and Orthodontists are dento-facial growth and development specialists.

Diastemas: There is no one best option. Each case is different. It is best to see a General Dentist for a consultation who can clinically evaluate you and along with x-rays, study models and a consultation with an Orthodontist discuss your treatment options.

Question 9

what is the best treatment for brown color of teeth?

Accepted Answer

Tooth bleaching: Yellow and brown color teeth respond better to bleaching than gray colored teeth.  Check with you dentist to see what he/she would recommend for your teeth and your expectations

Question 10

what is the best treatment for teeth color?

Accepted Answer

Bleaching: I recommend patients try bleaching for discolored teeth first if the teeth are not too dark.   If teeth are really dark then porcelain laminates or crowns may be needed.
