Possibly nothing. However, it may abscess and cause damage to the permanent tooth growing above it if left untreated. This would also cause the primary tooth to be lost before its proper time. We generally recommend that these teeth be treated to avoid potential problems.

Tooth bleaching involves the placement of a bleaching solution on the teeth to eliminate stains and discoloration. The solution is held in place by a custom-made, see-through tray that fits over the teeth. Bleaching is a safe, effective and relatively easy means of producing a whiter smile. Two bleaching methods are available at Dr. Bodnar: Power Bleaching with a Laser, done at our office, and At-Home-Bleaching, which provides for home use.

Children go through two phases of teething; the front teeth may be lost between 6 and 8 years of age, while the twelve primary back teeth (molars and canines) are not lost until about age 12. An untreated cavity can create an infection and cause your child pain, facial swelling, missed sleep and time out of school.

The discolouration shows the pulp, or soft inner tissue (nerve) has been injured. This represents a possible source of infection that should be assessed and monitored.

Without immunizations, your child can catch diseases that may cause high fever, coughing, choking, breathing problems, and even brain injury. These illnesses may leave your child deaf or blind, cause paralysis, and even death. Around 1960, there were over a half a million measles cases and more than 400 deaths associated with this disease. Thanks to immunization efforts, there were only 100 cases of measles in 1998 and zero deaths related to measles.

This is a common problem. It is usually caused by a dead pulp in the tooth. A bleaching procedure may be used to lighten the tooth. In some cases a crown or a veneer may be the best approach.

While the damage that dental fluorosis causes to the internal matrix of the teeth is permanent, the visible staining that fluorosis produces can be cosmetically treated by a dentist. Treatment options for fluorosis vary and will depend in part on the severity of the fluorosis and what you can afford (some of the treatments are very expensive). For mild forms of fluorosis, the most common form of treatment is "abrasion.

Studies have shown that as people age, their teeth may shift. This variable pattern of gradual shifting, called maturational change, usually slows down after the early 20s, but subtle changes continue. Even children whose teeth developed into ideal alignment and bite without treatment may develop orthodontic problems as adults. The most common maturational change is crowding of the lower front teeth. Wearing retainers as instructed after orthodontic treatment will stabilize the correction.

The most important thing to do is to remain calm. Then find the tooth. Hold it by the crown rather than the root and try to reinsert it in the socket. If that is not possible, put the tooth in a glass of milk and take your child and the glass immediately to the pediatric dentist.

Now is an excellent time to start brushing. Baby teeth can decay and when they first come in they are more vulnerable to decay causing bacterial plaque. Brush twice a day with a small smear of fluoride toothpaste.

involving one or both parents Tragically, though, it most often happens at home and usually the abuser is known to the child. Generally, the abuser is a caretaker. A caretaker can be a parent, stepparent, relative or baby-sitter.

Hearing science professionals estimate that 1 in 300 babies are born with some degree of hearing loss. Human genetic professionals estimate that half of those cases of hearing loss are due to the genes that the baby inherited. About 12 babies per 10,000 have a recessive cause of their hearing loss. Congenital hearing loss (hearing loss present at birth) that is due to one of the many recessive genes is about twice as common as Cystic Fibrosis, another recessive genetic condition.

Answer: Though blepharoplasty may result in a slight improvement of dark undereye circles, other procedures like chemical peels and laser resurfacing are typically a better option.

Answer: A chipped tooth can ruin an otherwise pleasing smile. Fortunately, dental bonding can be applied, color-matched and shaped to help make your tooth appear pleasing again. Dental bonding is usually accomplished in one visit. A long-term solution would be to get a porcelain veneer.

If the tooth is a permanent tooth, time is extremely crucial. Immediately stick the tooth back in the socket. Don't worry about getting it in straight or having it turned backwards, just get it in the socket and immediately call your dentist. If you are uncomfortable placing the tooth in the socket, put it in a glass of milk and get your child to the dentist as quickly as possible. If the tooth is a baby tooth, do not put it in the socket because damage to the permanent tooth can occur.

Find the tooth and rinse it gently in cool water. (Do not scrub it or clean it with soap -- use just water!) If possible, replace the tooth in the socket and hold it there with clean gauze or a wash cloth. If you can't put the tooth back in the socket, place the tooth in a clean container with milk, saliva, or water. Get to the pediatric dental office immediately. (Call the emergency number if it's after hours.) The faster you act, the better your chances of saving the tooth.

First of all, the cause of the dark tooth must be determined. It could be due to an earlier trauma to the tooth or previous root canal treatment. In such a case external teeth whitening treatments may not help. Your dentist may try internal bleaching which may take several sessions. If not, consider dental bonding, porcelain veneers, or capping the tooth to mask the darkness.

Your tooth sustained some sort of injury or trauma. Upon impact some blood pigments enter the dentinal tubules and caused a discoloration (intrinsic) stain. There may also be a possibility that delicate nerve is dying or dead. A dead tooth is referred to as a NECROTIC or NON-VITAL tooth. Whitening will definitely lighten the tooth. It may take allot longer to whiten because of the gray color, but you will see results.
