Weird question about teeth, wanted to know if any had experience?

February 24, 2010

Hey there,

I am a mom of 2 special needs children.

has Achalasia, she is now going to be 10 years old in May.

She is doing great by the way.

My question:

Has anyone had an adult tooth " not erupt " ( not come out)?

Has anyone had a tooth turned on it's side( the top of the tooth facing the

tooth in front of it)?

Just wondering?

I always wonder if " problems " with my kids medically are related to their

diagnosis, or just weird stuff that happens to our family.

We are off to see an oral surgeon for , age 11.5 years old.

Thanks..

I understand if it is totally unrelated.

Thanks again

When I was in 2nd grade, my right front baby tooth on top never got loose.

X-rays revealed that I had two " adult " teeth, but the first one was " dead " and

so it wasn't erupting, and it was in the way of the " good " tooth behind it.

I had my baby tooth and the dead tooth removed surgically, but by then the good

tooth had given up. Three years later, I had more surgery that removed the

tissue around the good tooth, and then braces were applied to pull the tooth

down manually over the next couple of years.

Not sure if that helps you any...
