Do your teeth still grow after ur 15 continuisly??

Yes, although they do not erupt any further into your mouth.  Instead, you should be looking at x-rays to see the growth because that is where you will see change.  When teeth erupt into your mouth, the root is about 2/3 formed.  Some of the last teeth to erupt are your second molars, which should come in around age 12.  The roots of these molars are completing their development, and may still be growing a little at age 15.  The next set of molars, third molars or "wisdom teeth" are still developing at age 15 and will erupt around age 18.  At that time, root formation could continue for another couple years.  All the other teeth- front, back, top and bottom, are pretty much done by this age.  \n    One more thing to note- if you grind your teeth, or somehow change a tooth so that when you bite together it doesn't touch opposing teeth, the tooth may erupt further until it does contact another tooth- this is called supereruption, and may or may not lead to other problems, depending on how well you are able to keep your other teeth throughout your lifetime.

DO NOT GET A BITE APPLIANCE MADE FOR A YOUNG CHILD!!!\n\nI can not state emphatically enough that you should never, ever consider getting (or making) an appliance to stop tooth grinding in a five year old.  This would stop proper growth and development of the jaw where the appliance is worn.\n\nIt is my opinion that baby teeth are designed to be worn away as the jaws grow and develop.  This allows for different growth rates and it allows for the accommodation of the permanent teeth with their much more pronounced cusp forms when they start to come in.\n\nYou may wish to ask your dentist to check for underlying problems, but 99% of the time - if not more - this is just part of being a five year old.

First of all TEETH ARE NOT BONES.\n\n\nTeeth are depositions of enamel and dentin formed inside a tiny bud that grows(it's called a  tooth bud).  Each bud is formed like a sprout off a chain of sprouts, like leaves on a plant.  You are NOT born with all your teeth already started, but with most of them already started.   Your wisdom teeth are the last to start forming well after birth (I think 6 or 7 years) . \n\nAs part of the eruption process the new tooth (adult tooth) start to eat away the roots of the baby tooth in a controlled manner. as it takes away more and more of the baby tooth root,  the baby tooth becomes looser and falls out.   So what pushes the tooth out? The ligaments that attach the root to the bone provide the eruption force necessary for the tooth to move.

Hi yes this has happened to my friends daughter recently.She still had her baby tooth but behind it the new tooth had started to grow.My friend was worried that the baby tooth wouldn't come out or that the new tooth would stay further back on the gum. However it was all ok , the baby tooth came out on its own in the end and the new tooth moved forward to fill the gap.

You may grow none, or any number up to 4. In very rare cases some people may grow more, but I've only seen this a few times in my experience.\nThe size may range from tiny (or "dwarf") in the upper jaw, to the size of a normal molar, or slightly extra-wide (in the lower jaw).\nTop wisdoms are always smaller than lower wisdoms, and therefore easier to extract.

Have u seen a dentist? My husband is 30, and I took him to the dentist last year. He still had one of his baby molars.

Well it may depend if your bones are done growing, usually at your age they are but sometimes they still have a inch or so in reserve.\nThe bones are made initially of cartilage which can grow but once the cartilage has been replaced by thick bone it cannot grow anymore and the growth stops this happens though puberty \nUsually when people reach puberty the sexual hormones (estrogen in women and testosterone in men) increase the rate of growth but the also make the bones harder so the make you to stop growing earlier.\nIf you still have some cartilage in your growing plates (parts where the bone still can grow) it means that you can grow a little more, sometimes your physician can help you with growth hormone but usually that´s only used as a last resort.\nif you're done growing hormones would do more harm than good so please don´'t use them unless your doctor prescribes them to you.\nBut my final advice is to be happy as you are, we come in all colors and sizes so there´s no need to change as  long as we are healthy.\nand by the way in the future you´ll love to look younger than what you really are (like when you are in your 30´s) and that´s one of the rewards for the petites

when you first get them its a 8-9 then about two weeks later you will be fine.  Every month when you go back to the dentist it will hurt for that day (3-4)but think about it this way...when you are done your teeth are going to be awesome and you are going to look great!!!!!

you shouldn't worry about anything yet. My 6 year old daughter has only lost 1 tooth, and that was her bottom. With in the next 2 years if he still hasnt lost any teeth you might want to take him to the dentist before his adult teeth come out. I found this out by her doctor. I hope that helps.

I have no idea how many teeth you have... how old are you?  The adult dentition has 32 teeth and a child's dentition has 20 teeth.  Of course, there is always the possibility that some teeth never develop (most common is wisdom teeth) and some people even develop 'extra' teeth known as supernumerary teeth.

Yes, it like a piece of fruit, once the decay starts a good cleaning wouldn't stop it- it will continue to grow.  The decay has to be removed before it travels to the nerve chamber and then you need a root canal or extraction.  Get the tooth filled and make payments before it gets costly!

Hey hun, try not to worry about it too much. I don't know what the "normal" amount of cavities to get in one year is, 4 does seem like quite a lot to develop in one year, but I guess it depends on a few things really. You said that your mum doesn't let you eat sweets at home, is it only recently you've been eating them at school? If so, that might be why you have a few cavities developing in a short space of time.\n\nPersonally, I think you're done pretty well to get to 15 before you got your first cavities, there are lots of little kids out there who have cavities. So don't feel bad about it, it's normal to get cavities, practically everyone has them, I'm sure your mum will get over it.\n\nI've had fillings in the past, and I need to get a whole load more done soon, don't worry, they're really not that bad. The worst part is the sound of the drilling, I'd advise you take your CD player and some headphones for during the procedure so that you can't hear the drill as much. It doesn't hurt unless the cavities are very deep, because they numb your mouth first. It doesn't take too long to do a filling, but it depends where it is on the tooth and how big it is. They probably won't do all 4 at the same time though.\n\nGood luck hun, and try not to worry about it too much, it's not so bad. And make sure if you're going to continue eating sweets that you brush and floss every day!!!

I would go see another dentist and get a second opinion.  There are other options out there, yes you may have to wait until you are older to put crowns on those teeth.  But I would ask about other options..  Good luck

Ask the dentist. If they give you anesthesia then maybe.

Not all cavities grow! By drilling into a small cavity you will have to make it larger and therefore create a bigger filling, so tiny cavities are left to see if the grow. The best way to stop it happening is to limit your sugar intake. Sugar rots teeth and the teeth take 3 hours to repair themselves after a sugar attack, so in short limit the amount of sugar to a minimum of 4 hour intervals. This includes tea & coffee (if you have sugar), all drinks except milk and water and most foods i'm afraid. At meals you can have as much sugar as you want, sweets, fruit, fruit juice etc as you meal will contain sugar. As I am a dental nurse, this is the advice we provide to our patients and have really noticed the difference in the patients that follow the advice. And the most important time to brush your teeth is before bed with an electric toothbrush.\nHope this helps
