I have a baby tooth problem too, but a different one. I have 2 baby teeth with no permant teeth behind them. They both have fillings and aren't loose yet, but I wonder how long they'll last? they're both premolars. I'm 20 btw. I also wonder if they'll make it harder to make my teeth straight and all. Since I'm so prone to cavities, I really don't want to get a bridge because that makes it tough to floss. How painfull are implants? Is it possible that the baby teeth will last?
