You will more than likely be able to get a dental implant on the site your tooth was extracted several years ago, however, you should go to your dentist for a consultation first. You may need to have a bone graft procedure done to beforehand. In certain cases, it is not possible to have dental implants placed, but that all depends.

Braces do not damage teeth, as long as you maintain adequate oral hygiene and keep up with your routine maintenance dental appointments.

Yes, this is a critical situation that absolutely requires an emergency appointment for diagnosis purposes so that proper Treatment could be recommended.

There are many reasons why this can possibly be happening. Do you brush your teeth nightly before going to sleep? Is your diet high in sugar? When is the last dental appointment you have had, where the dentist took X-rays and Completed his/her Comprehensive Intraoral Examination? Make your dental appointment so your dentist can more specifically discuss your dental issues and concerns.

Yes, they very well may. Certain baby teeth are supposed to stay until about 12 years old. If decayed and left untreated, dental infection can grow to the permanent teeth which are located in close proximity to the roots of the baby teeth. Make an appointment with your dentist/pediatric dentist for further consultation and treatment for your son.

Yes, they can. But the same applies the other way; teeth problems can also cause sinus symptoms; I would highly advise you make a dental appointment for a consultation.

Kindly,

Dr. Andy Gaertner.
