Bad breath Gum bleeding Gum Swelling Shaking teeth All these symptom take years to form, but once your gum is in bad shape, it is difficult and costly ( only surgical ) to correct it. So as many times you heard before, preventive is better than the cure. You may not appreciate what the dentist done to you after scaling, you may even not feel a thing, but in long term, it helps

Pain Swelling Pus If serious ----> can turn into Cellulitis ( Google it up to understand better ) If beyond repair, extraction of teeth is usually follow which will lead to Unable to eat Mal-nultrition ( Im talking about missing of a lot of teeth ) Treatment available after extraction Denture Crown/bridge Implant All of which cost a lot So in short, just do the filling to safe you the trouble and money

QUOTE(pilotHans @ May 19 2015, 03:00 PM) How do I teach my 2year old daughter to brush her teeth? Make sure they have interest in teeth brushing, let them participate in toothbrush and tooth paste selection to increase their interest. Show them the consequences of not brushing so they will always remember to brush. IF they really refuse to brush, as parents , we can use wet cloth over finger to clean their teeth when they are sleeping.

Our teeth need time for the bone surround it to form to stabilize the teeth. If you do it within so fast period of time, it will bounce back

AskTheDent,
Hope you can help me.
My 7 years old daughter has a loose front tooth while a new tooth has began to grow behind the loose tooth.
Should I just wait for the loose tooth to fall out or extract it now to ensure proper orientation of the new tooth coming up from behind?
Many thanks.

Usually just let it drop down. But if the shaking teeth causing her pain and discomfort, then you have to bring her extraction
