Could baby tooth actually be permanent?

Question

13 years old & my baby tooth in the back of my mouth arent even shaking. are these permanent? should i get braces? the last time i lost a tooth was 3 years ago! HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

Yes, don't try to force it out, there might not be an adult tooth under it. I have 2 baby teeth that don't have any tooth under it so if i lose them, that will be it for me. So take good care of your teeth so you don't have to worry about it. Just check with your Dentist to make sure that it doesn't have anything underneath before you try to yank it out.

Answer 2

they will come out, or get the dentist to put u to sleep, but NHS did that to me and they ended up pulling out the wrong teeth and they pulled out my adult teeth

Answer 3

No. I'm 17 and still have two baby teeth :P I don't know why you think you should get braces, it would just tighten your teeth and your baby teeth will be wedged. Just wait, they'll eventually pop out :) If not you'll just get them removed by a dentist. I'm getting mine removed this week since it's been so long and they won't come out on their own. Good luck :)

Answer 4

I doubt it,yours just might be taking awhile;there are others that might be older than you and still have theirs.If your really curious about this,call you dentist and ask them about it.

Good Luck!

My daughter still has a baby tooth and she is 16 years old.  The dentist said that it is considered a birth defect.  I wouldn't worry yet. I have a niece who is 13 years old and still has 4 baby teeth!  She was late getting her teeth when she was a baby.  If you didn't start growing teeth until you were about 9 or 10 months old like she did, then you are going to be late in losing them too.  So don't worry just yet.  They are waiting until college for my daughter to lose hers and if she doesn't lose it by then they will pull it. ( they ray ed her jaw and she doesn't have an adult tooth to replace it so that is what makes hers a birth defect) She will have to have hers replaced by a platinum with a crown. You probably have an adult tooth to replace the baby tooth that will fall out sooner or later.  Ask your mom when you got your baby teeth. I'll bet it was late. Your first tooth being around 5 or 6 months.  If it was then don't worry. You're normal!
