What is the right age when teeth stop growing. ?
The last eruption is generally at about the age of about 13-14 (not including the wisdom teeth of course). I suggest you get him fixed up right away with a partial denture as it is really important whilst he is growing that the space is maintained, or he could also end up needing orthodontics carried out!! When he is older, he can decide whether he would like a bridge or a more permanent fix but well worth it for such a young man would be to have implants, expensive but so worth it if we are talking about his 2 front teeth!!! Hope this helps
Reply:i would say around 18...maybe a little younger or older...the dentist should be able to take a x-ray to see when the rest will stop growing
Reply:You're going to make him wait??? Just ask the dentist to make them "too long" if you are concerned that he will outgrow them.





Full eruption (at least 90-95% anyway) is generally achieved by age 16-18.
Reply:go and see your dentist! a gap in the teeth will render your teech unstable and will creat gaps!
Reply:You do not have to give him dentures. You did not mention how old he is. That makes a big difference. I woud assume that he is somewhere between 6 and 12. You need to have a spacer installed so that his permanent teeth will grow in properly. Also you can get a removable appliance with teeth, just for aesthetics. It has to be removed for eating. Later your options can be implants or a bridge. I am assuming that the teeth immediately adjacent to the missing teeth are not permanent. If money is an issue, call the nearest school of dentistry. Healthy families, a nationwide program from the Clinton administration, covers medical, dental, and vision for as little as $9-$22 per month for all the children in the family.
