How many times can you lose a tooth?

Question

My little bro has 3 chipped teeth that could be loose. They seem like an adult tooth. Can he lose it once or twice? Please answer

Answer 1

the average human has one set of baby teeth and one set of permanent teeth.

each baby tooth falls out eventually and is replaced by a permanent or "adult" tooth.

so basically, your brother will not grow back another tooth if he loses an adult tooth.

if they are chipped or loose a dentist would be able to tell you all of the options available to get that fixed.

sometimes it isn't a big enough deal and they don't have to be fixed unless you are worried about the looks of the teeth.

other times they need to be filled in with a composit material, which is tooth colored, crowned, replaced, or one of the many other options.

dental procedures have come so far even in the last decade that there is hardly a problem that is not fixable with our new technology.

make sure your little brother can get in to see a dentist, the sooner the better.

it may not be something you will need to worry about, but he needs to be seen by a professional so that they can determine that.

good luck, i hope this helps!

Answer 2

YOU ONLY LOSE BABY TEETH ONCE BEFORE THE PERMANENT TOOTH REPLACES IT.

Answer 3

once..and only once...unless he can get it fixed by a dentist..

Answer 4

You only have two sets of teeth: your baby teeth and adult teeth. The adult teeth do not grow back if removed.

Teeth can be repaired or capped if there is a problem
