QUESTION # 6. Why do the permanent teeth look so much yellower than the baby teeth?

Kids' Dental Care -- Pediatric Dentistry -- Located in Fall ...
ANSWER: Permanent teeth are normally yellower than primary teeth, but they appear even more so because you are comparing them with the lighter baby teeth still in the mouth. ANSWER: This is not an uncommon occurrence. Sometimes the permanent teeth begin to come in before the baby teeth are lost. When this happens, unless the child can work the baby teeth out by himself within a few weeks, the pediatric dentist may have to remove them.

Permanent teeth are normally more yellow than primary teeth. This becomes very apparent when the child is between the ages of seven and ten, where the adult teeth are next to the very white baby teeth. Once the child has lost several more baby teeth, most children appear to have very white smiles. » Return to Top

In the case of permanent teeth, this is sometimes necessary to provide space for other teeth, either because of severe crowdedness or protrusion of teeth. This is entirely dependent on the specific treatment objectives for the individual patient by the treating orthodontist. You can rest assured that the doctor does not take such a decision lightly and will consider all aspects of treatment very carefully, as well as any other options that might be available as an alternative treatment solution.

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.

Why are the permanent teeth darker or more yellow than the baby teeth?

Olathe, KS Pediatric Dentist | Dr. John Fales
Permanent teeth are naturally darker than baby teeth. This is magnified by the simple fact that the permanent teeth are much larger and thicker than the baby teeth and light does not pass through them as easily. In addition, in most situations, you are comparing them side-by-side to the whiter, smaller baby teeth.

Will my baby inherit my bad teeth?

FAQ's
There are many factors which influence the susceptibility of teeth to decay. Some of these factors may be inherited (shape of teeth), others may be influenced by environment (fluoride) or behaviour (brushing). Clean teeth do not decay. Although some people are more immune to decay than others, with good dental care cavities can be prevented. If you have a lot of fillings or even dentures your child can still grow up with healthy teeth.

Will my child have bad permanent teeth if the baby teeth have a lot of cavities?

Olathe, KS Pediatric Dentist | Dr. John Fales
If the cavities in the baby teeth are left untreated, the decay can cause problems significant enough to affect the permanent teeth. In addition, decay is contagious and will spread to other teeth in the mouth, including newly erupted permanent teeth. Sometimes the permanent teeth are slightly misaligned and erupt offset from the baby teeth they are to replace. Dr. Fales will most often recommend that lower baby teeth be left until they naturally exfoliate, unless they are uncomfortable.

Question: I need to stop breastfeeding when the baby's teeth come in?

Frequently Asked Questions
No. You do not need to wean when your baby's teeth come in. Both of my children got their first tooth at 3 months of age but were breastfed more than a year. Biting can occur at the end of feeding, when the baby is no longer hungry, but playful. Simply remove the baby from the breast with a firm "no". If the baby is still hungry, offer the breast again. If the biting continues, remove the baby from the breast for several minutes.
