Frequently Asked Questions

The lower permanent incisors erupt to the tongue side of the baby incisors. What to do?

Dr. Steven Green - Holistic Family Dentistry
The most common abnormality (not to worry about) is the lower incisors erupting to the tongue side of the baby incisors, or the upper incisors erupting in front of the baby incisors. Usually just waiting six months solves the problem. Typically the retained baby teeth loosen and fall out. The permanent tooth erupts vertically enough to become a “paddle,” pushed into position by the natural forces of the tongue and lips.

They will usually appear in pairs along the sides of the jaw until the child is about three years old. The pace and order to their eruption also varies.

Why do volcanoes erupt?

Arenal Volcano Hotels General Info Places of Interes - Costa...
Volcanoes erupt because of density and pressure. The lower density of the magma relative to the surrounding rocks causes it to rise (like air bubbles in syrup). It will rise to the surface or to a depth that is determined by the density of the magma and the weight of the rocks above it. As the magma rises, bubbles start to form from the gas dissolved in the magma. The gas bubbles exert tremendous pressure.

This is entirely dependent on the specific treatment objectives for the individual patient by the treating orthodontist.

How does a lost baby tooth cause problems for permanent teeth?

Header
If a baby tooth is lost too soon, the teeth beside it may tilt or drift into the empty space. Teeth in the other jaw may move up or down to fill the gap. When adjacent teeth shift into the empty space, they create a lack of space in the jaw for the permanent teeth. So, permanent teeth are crowded and come in crooked. If left untreated, the condition may require extensive orthodontic treatment.

Bad Breath Frequently Asked Questions

For hygiene purposes you should clean your tongue every day (using our recommended cleaning method). In a bad breath sufferer, the bacteria in the tongue coating is an accumulation of anaerobic bacteria and sulphur compounds that cause bad breath. So for bad breath patients, tongue coating is not good.
