i have a rotten tooth in upper jaw and doctors suggested to remove it off as it is completely rotten.my friend told me that if i remove my tooth from upper jaw that impcts on my eye. is it true? will any problem arise if i remove the tooth from my upper jaw?plz help me by answering this question
Is there any relation between teeth and eyes?
No, it will cause problems if you don't remove it. ! The cuspid [ canine or eye tooth ] does have a long root close to cheek bone / eye socket, but the worst that could happen would be , possible, bruising i.e. a 'black eye' for a couple of days. Get it removed !!
Reply:There will be no problems to your eyes if you have the tooth removed, they are not in the same body "system". But if the tooth is that bad, you should have it removed immediately. The rotten tooth could cause some of the infection to get in your bloodstream, and if you get an infection in your heath, you are in big trouble!
Reply:If you have this tooth out you will not be able to see it any more. Thats the only difference it will have on your eyes.
Reply:Your body is one contained system. Normally, no, a tooth would not affect your eyes. However, if you get a systemic infection from the tooth, it could certainly spread to the eyes. I had a friend who nearly died from a systemic infection due to a mouthful of rotten teeth.
It is far better to have it removed than to suffer any longer!
In all honesty, you are more likely to have eye trouble the longer that pesky tooth is there!
Reply:Does my child have to have braces? Is there another way?
“My Dentist told me to wait until 12 before my child’s teeth can be treated with any form of orthodontics.…..it doesn’t make sense.”
.
This is one of the most common statements made by parents who visit our practice, and that of my like minded peers Internationally. Parents are amazed at the results we achieve with techniques currently being used by Dentists all over the world on younger patients, who avoid braces if treated early enough.
This was the focus of a 60 minutes segment a few years ago which you can find on our website.
It is very important for parents to understand that early intervention makes all the difference, and the most beautiful smiles we create are the ones that we have been able to influence the growth of the face and jaws as well.
Straight teeth alone is not enough.
A recent scientific paper published found that the most attractive faces had a full lip and forward positioned upper jaw , that was very broad and a smile that was full of teeth.
None of these characteristics can be significantly influenced once a child reaches the 12 to 13 yr mark when braces are traditionally placed.
A growing head is needed to influence the outcome regarding the width of the face, position of the upper and lower jaw , width of smile, lip support , cheek bone prominence and the amount of gum shown when smiling.
So the cheapest and best form of Cosmetic Dentistry needs to be done at an early age, often before 7 or 8, commonly between 8 to 10, and less effective after 12.
How good are the results?
A recent paper for peer review by an English Dentist we work closely with, who uses growth guidance techniques on young children (similar to what we do), judged his patients as having the very best smiles and faces( without using braces) out of all the Orhtodontists who participated by presenting their very best braces cases. ( every patient in the top 13 was his).
This Dentist, Professor.John Mew is the passionate, older gentleman interviewed in the 60 minutes program. Have a look at it on our website…it’s a great segment.
We recently presented at an International Symposium for Early Orthodontic Treament and Growth Guidance in Queensland and also Tokyo.
The Professors, Orthodontists, and Peadiatric Dentists that were also presenting , explained how 90% of the upper jaw is fully developed by the age of 9,
and 90% of the lower jaw by the age of 12. They avoided treating patients older than this., and are passionate about early intervention.
This is in stark contrast to the typical Austalian trained Orthodontist who wants to wait until growth has stopped, their techniques were discussed in the 60 minutes segment.
Narrow jaws, underdeveloped jaws, underbites, overbites,crowded baby teeth, x- bites, early loss of baby teeth, open mouth posture, mouth breathing, enlarged adenoids or tonsils,snoring, incorrecct swallowing patterns, issues with speech, cleft lip/palate, bucky teeth and inset teeth are all important reasons to seek early treatment.
Crowded baby teeth have a 100 % probability of leading to crowded adult teeth, according to a review of 200 scientific papers we did last month…. so where is the sense in waitng?
My own 3 ½ yr old son, has been fitted with an appliance to broaden his maxilla, and is the youngest person we have ever treated. Only if the tongue has enough room to sit in the palate, with the child posturing with lips closed at rest, can the face continue to grow correctly.
The upper jaw sits under and supports the eyes. Very commonly we see young children with an under-develpoed upper jaw and sunken cheekbones showing the whites of their eyes. This is very difficult to correct non- surgically when the child has finished growing.
The consensus in th Orthodontic community 100 years ago was to treat early and avoid extractions. The trend turned to extractions in the 50’s and is now slowly getting back to more and more practitioners understanding the benefis of early treatment.
We have recently been spending time educating general Dentists on how to diagnose problems early which are much easier to correct.
General Dentists feedback has been positive as this research and clinical success we have is different to what is taught to them at University.Their patients are grateful that their children are avoiding extractions and surgery by using growth to their advantage.
It is interesting how many General Dentists approach me at seminars and ask how they can avoid this traditional treament for their kids.
Some Universities overseas have a specialty degree just for treating the growing faces of children .
We run these sessions from our practice for Dentists all over Australia, so please tell your family Dentist .
Braces is effective at straightening teeth, and should be used as a finishing tool, only after proper arch development and habit correction. If the latter is done correctly we have found that braces is most often not required.
If your Dentist or Orthodontist is not trained in these techniques and benefits of Early Treatment, then braces is the only tool he has….a little like a tradesman with only a hammer in his toolbelt.
Many patients we see have some form of crowding, or underdevelopment of one or both jaws.
So creating more room , or aligning the jaws while the child is growing is relatively simple, and makes sense to parents.
We are training Peadiatric Dentists and Orthodontists in the nobrace centre’s ‘ Arch Development System’ which takes them about 2 years to become competent.
The family Dentists who see their patients come back after a year are amazed at what has been achieved relatively quickly and stop advising their patients to wait until 12 as they have done for so many years.
Unfortunately , some children we meet who are older than 13 , cannot be helped with our alternative to braces such as the’ Myobrace’ and traditional braces and extractions and sometimes surgery is their only option.
This is a hot topic .The Australian Society of Orthodontists states that children should come in for an assessment as early as seven.
Yet our experience is that their members are poorly trained at diagnosing problems at this age.
60 minutes revealed that their members as not intersted at treating patients at this age, with quotes from the show; “ Our kids at risk in the dental chair” , “ What if this treatment was damaging their face?” “Maybe the treatment we trusted for generations is all wrong.”
Parents we meet daily, confirm our experience, and are often frustrated and angry when hit with the news of extractions or surgery , being required even after taking their children for years into their Dentist or Orthodontist at an early age only to be told to come back when older.
15 years ago when I stopped using amalgam fillings Dentists found it hard to fathom that this new approach would gain so much poularity as it has currently…now… nearly all dentist use these alternatives to amalgam.
Where to now?
Professor Mew has aslked me to organise the next International Symposium next year to be held in Sydney.
Every Dentist, Hygientist, Therapist, Orthodontist and Peadiatric Dentist in Australia will be invited , and as this treatment modality is rapidly gaining popularity we should see one of the highest attendances on record, learning about this treatment which my peers agree is the future of Orthodontics.

Reply:There is a relation between your eyes and upper teeth in that the sinuses are all connected. That is why a lot of people feel tooth pain when they have sinus infections and feel head/sinus pressure when they have a tooth ache. As for there being a relationship in terms of your eyes' functions... Absolutely not! Having an upper tooth removed cannot harm your eyes in any way. You will not go blind, lose vision, or harm them in any other way. After the tooth is removed your upper gums may be a little tender and swollen, so you may feel a little pressure in your sinuses, and thus around your eyes, but I assure you there is no direct link between having a tooth out and eye problems. BUT... if you were to neglect having the tooth out and the tooth was to become infected (as most bad teeth will), there is a large risk of the infection spreading into the sinuses and thus the eyes. You should definitely follow the dentists recommendations on this one and just have it out... 1, 2, 3... and no more worries! Hope this helps!
