    Hi, im 25 and I have a couple of baby teeth that never grew. Basically they need to be pulled down from the gums. Has anyone had something like this before and what did they do to sort it out.

    I only grew 4, rather than 6, adult molars on my lower jaw. The two back ones on each side grew and there was a missing ones before the premolars. I was left with 2 baby molars.

    I was 17 when the dentist extracted the teeth. The roots aren't deep and there are no nerves in the tooth. but the baby teeth were crowded by the bigger adult teeth. The dentist broke the tooth while taking it out.

    The procedure was pretty quick and I was eating the same day. It was a bit uncomfortable. It healed up after a week. However here were some small splinters that occasionally found their way up over the next few years that I removed with a tweezers. If you've had any fillings I'd describe the procedure that level of discomfort.

    I had two eye teeth than a were milk teeh and am getting it fixed now

    My byte was to narrow so I've braced on the top. I had gum surgery to expose them and attach the brace to one and a chain plus elastic to the other. The left one has worked well not sure how the right will work out. The longer you leave it the higher the chance one tooth will fuse to your jaw.

    Get it done soon as yor can. It's costing four grand to get done I'm paying in stages. It has been sore and unpleasant at times but at some point you will have to do it
