Does having your baby teeth pulled affect your adult teeth?
wow..weird writing. anyway, no it doesn't affect her adult teeth. never affected mine
Reply:yeah maybe it does
Reply:I doubt it. I only had one tooth pulled when I was younger though. Now I have all my adult teeth and they're straight and I've never had braces.
Reply:Yes, it does. It gives the permanent teeth more room so they can grow in straighter. There's no guarantee that she won't need braces in the future but I had to have teeth pulled for the same reason.
Reply:If you were advised to have them pulled i can not see there being a problem. If they were just pulled for no reason it might affect the spacing when it comes to future teeth. But that again is not a big problem as that can be fixed with retainers and such.
Reply:you don't say why she had them pulled or how old she is. if she's old enough and ready for permanent teeth, it won't hurt them at all. the baby teeth have to leave to make room for the adult teeth.
Reply:supposedly, it won't affect adult teeth at all.
Reply:Absolutely, there is a reason the baby teeth erupt in a certain order and a reason they fall out in a certain order. If a baby tooth is pulled to early then the baby teeth with shift to fill in that missing space. You can put a spacer in there to hold that space unitl the permanent tooth comes in. But the shifting will cause more problems. For example, no one wants to fix baby teeth because they fall out but if you do not replace a missing baby tooth with a spacer the permanent teeth can not erupt properly if they are shifting and this will result in 5000 braces and even jaw problems or wearing of the teeth.
Reply:shouldn't but if the teeth are close together they'll grow in crooked
