Avatar f tn so your infection in your tooth would have nothing to do with that. HOWEVER, the lingering infection in your tooth COULD cause your immune system to become weaker, and therefore making it harder to sustain a pregnancy with even a healthy baby. Again I'm sorry for your loss and I'm sure your doctor can tell you more about this than I can. Hope I helped tho and GL in the future!
4093350 tn?1358096154 Just curious. I broke a tooth last night & then started reading too much stuff online. All i read was that gum disease could cause preterm labor. Does anyone know the facts, like how bad does it have to be or what are the percentages? I've always had bad teeth even tho i brush, floss and rinse daily. I blame it on genetics. The dentist has never told me i have gum disease but if i am at risk. Thank you!
947190 tn?1286991297 I've been treated twice for chronic Hepatitis C. Since the onset of the first treatment, (February, 2004), I have been losing my teeth. They simply "break" apart and fall out of my mouth. There's no pain involved but, I now have only 1 1/2 teeth remaining in my mouth. None of my "Doctors" offer me any advice, help, direction. What is happening to me?????? (It's not just tooth loss either. Every body system is being affected).
Avatar f tn Does anyone know the percent of bone loss a tooth has to have before it is no longer able to be saved? Thank you.
2006603 tn?1331329327 Yes our son is his only child. I don't know why she thinks he can only have boys. I'm afraid of having a girl and just being at a complete loss on what to do with her after the baby stage lol.

Avatar n tn I'm sorry to hear about your bone loss. Did the dentist say how long it takes to get to that stage? I've been diagnosed with periodontal disease. I've done the first part of a full-mouth debridement. I'm doing the second part soon. I've been told this will stop the disease.
Avatar f tn I read up on internet that tooth decay has a microorganism that will lead to passing on the same condition to those sharing foods, etc. So how can you say it's not contagious???

392430 tn?1382904781 I have read in almost every article about teething babies that it is perfectly normal for the first tooth not to show up until after a year or year and a half! I bet one day Phin will just pop them all out and then you might be in trouble! haha. He might discover his new "weapon" and want to try it out on your fingers. Blake even bit my arm THROUGH my shirt and drew blood! Ouch. We are working on this...not a cute habit!
Avatar f tn My husband and I will le my body heal and try again in February. Doc did send my tissue to Genetics to see if Genetics was the cause either myself or my Donor..
Avatar n tn Molars which are in the back, kids have for many years and leaving the tooth could cause issues to the permanent teeth that comes in behind it. Also, when a four year old has a rotting tooth, they will begin to address oral hygiene. Some kids are more prone to cavities than others simply due to their genetics. Flossing becomes really critical to get in between those teeth.
Avatar m tn Tooth mobility may be caused by acute periodotal infection. Once the infection subsides, mobility will be reduced.
Avatar n tn So, you have a grandparent and parent that have hearing loss in one ear? You are wondering if this is something that can be caused by genetics and inherited. There are many causes of hearing loss. There are genetic causes of hearing loss and are most often seen in babies. There is also the gradual hearing loss many go through as they age.

Avatar f tn The fun thing about genetics is that you just never know. Makes everything a surprise because while there is a chance for one thing theres also chances for others. I have my fad has straight brown hair and bkue eyes and my mom has curly dark brown hair and hazel eyes. My sis has straight brown hair and blue eyes, my brother has curly brown with blue, and i have straight hair thats a big mix of colors with green eyes. Its crazy!
1110747 tn?1295844043 I don't think it has anything to do with genetics. I am the only one in my family that has PCOS. PCOS does run in families (of course, almost anything does), however, there is no proof that it is hereditary. Usually, a woman with the condition will begin to experience menstrual irregularities within three to four years after her first period. Women may have other conditions, which cause irregular menstrual cycles or other symptoms, which mimic PCOS, but are not due to PCOS itself.
Avatar f tn I am not a doctor. The genetics is not a slam dunk. Some families have it strongly others do not. I had no one in my family history with it. Stomach issues are not usually MS. If she is concerned it is best to start with a Primary Care Doctor. He or she can do a basic neurological exam. If he or she thinks she needs to go to a neurologist he or she can make a referral. With out symptoms or signs few Doctors will order the extensive tests for MS.
