Guest guest Posted January 13, 2001 Report Share Posted January 13, 2001 How is the tooth that lost the root? has it discolored or will he need a cap sometime in the future? goes back in Feb for further checks on hers and I have to endure another session with her nasty dentist (thats a whole other story) Caroline Jersey > Matt has now been given the all clear for his two front teeth, some of you will remember he knocked them both clean out during an ice skating trip back in June. The dentist had to remove the root from one because it had died, but the other has taken, in the Spring I think he's going to sort out a brace for him, which he was going to need even if he hadn't knocked them out!! > > HTH > > Tupman > Mum to Matt 13, 10, Jonty 17 months & Phil 36 > NCT Houseswap Register Coordinator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 14, 2001 Report Share Posted January 14, 2001 > DS2 has recently had two permanent molars fissure sealed I found an interesting site today www.animated-teeth.com or was it www.animation-teeth.com It has info on dental problems and mentions fissure sealing, cold sores, mouth ulcers. I got onto it after someone on mumsnet bulletin board mentioned that Steffi could be getting so many mouth ulcers because of an allergy to a foaming ingredient in toothpaste. Having seen the info around, I've decided this could be a relatively cheap way to fix a fairly frequent problem, by changing her toothpaste for 3 months. So it's off to the shops tomorrow to read labels... - Sue Downunder in Melbourne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tooth was very black to start with, but now just the very top is a bit discoulered, he says it will go in time. Hope it does!
