It's a slow day plus I'm curious to see what you people know.
For your trouble, you get 2 to 12 points.Why can't our teeth grow back like our finger nails?
Teeth are made up of different material then nails. You can't compare them, they are both specialized tissues with separate functions. Finger nails are abraded much quicker then teeth and so there is the need to replace them. Two sets of teeth is all we need in our life. Or at least WAS all we needed back when evolution was actively taking place.
Hmm here are some observations regarding the previous posts:
1) ';Teeth are like bones';. True but not entirely. You see, if you fracture your bone, it will heal. Teeth on the other hand do not heal themselves. Never heard, nor read, in any dental textbook about a vertical tooth fracture healing spontaneously. N.B. dentine DOES have some reparative functions but they are limited to formation of secondary or sclerotic layer. Not regeneration.
2) ';Only parts can be restored, like the enamel';. By itself? No. Once there is a cavity in enamel then no matter what happens the body will not refill it. True that saliva continues to deposit calcium into enamel but that's not the same as healing.
3) ';Nails are made from keratin (protein) which grows constantly until death';. Actually finger nails and hair continue to grow for a limited period even after death. Go figure ;)
Dr. SamiWhy can't our teeth grow back like our finger nails?
Teeth are not bones (or fingernails), but LIKE bones, they grow to a certain size and stop. Beaver's teeth, however, keep growing and are just worn down by gnawing on trees/bark... but we're not beavers. Teeth, unlike bones, can not regenerate themselves. That's why we have to take better care of them. You can't just put a splint or cast on them and expect them to heal themselves.
besides the fact that fingernails are made of a different material along time ago humans usually only lived until about maybe 40 years old and humans today live longer and usually lose their teeth past that age so evolution figured we would only need teeth until about 40 so why use limited space to make uneccesary teeth
Teeth are made from bone and cannot be regenerated.
Nails are made from keratin (protein) which grows constantly until death.
Your hair is also made from keratin.
Your teeth are bones that aren't replaced; They are embedded in your jaw until they appear. Only parts can be restored, like the enamel. But the whole tooth can't.

Should I get acrylic nails? Are they bad for you? How much do they cost?
I want to get acrylic nails for my graduation, I am 12 yrs. old. How much do they cost?
Oh yeah and if you know any good, clean salons in Bayonne, NJ please tell me only if you have been there. Thank you!!!Should I get acrylic nails? Are they bad for you? How much do they cost?
I've had acrylics for the last seven years. They look gorgeous if you have a good nail girl. If you are just getting them for your graduation and them taking them off, you should be fine. If you have them on for a long period of time, your nails are significantly weakened and brittle.Should I get acrylic nails? Are they bad for you? How much do they cost?
i got them when i was 12 and only got them on special occasions but now that i'm 21 i can see how much they ruined my nails it to be 5 yrs to get them to look good on their own but they will never look as good as they did be for i got fake nails, i wouldn't start if i were you.
20 dollars, once you get them you have to go back every week or so to get them filled in. When you get ready to take them off, they thin the nail, scar them, and sometimes a fungus infection can develop. Just go to the salon and have them to design your own nails.
They can be bad for your nails if they're not done right because they use a machine to make your nail rough on top so the glue sticks to them. If you're not planning on keeping them on for a while, I wouldn't bother. you need a fill-in about every 2 weeks unless your nails grow really fast. They look nice, but they're pricey. I'm in Alabama and they cost about $24 for a full set, and about $15 per fill-in. The price varies from state-to-state and city-to-city as well. But it's an expensive upkeep regardless.
I'm no help as far as the cost. But I can tell you that two of my daughters had them done. They fell in love with them so decided to have them done a few more times from a very reputable, clean salon but when they removed them that last time they realized that their own nails had become discolored, split, and just plain messy looking. The gals at the salon said that happens with several people. Needless to say they've never had it done again. Hate to throw water on something you'd really like to do but checking it out first is a good idea.
they are horrible for your nails. my aunt has them and one fell off and her nail was sooo damaged. they are not very cheap either. they are 12-30 dollars for 10 nails.
It all depends on your nails....are they weak? because if they are the acrylics will damage your real nails and it will have 2 look bad for about 2 weeks...because thats how long it takes for the nail 2 grow from the bed to the top... Oh and you already know to be careful...but I'll give some personal experience. I went to a nail shop and the tech was apparently having a bad day so she filled my skin off from the side of my nails, I didn't realize it untill I went to wash my hands when the pain struck. Also I got my nails done then when she told me to go wash my hands as part of the process the bathroom and were they kept their equipment was digustingly dirty. Just make sure you go someplace were they are known for cleanliness and doing a good job. Also dont do gel nails because they will fall out before you have them on for a week if they use the real gel nails because now people are starting to mix acrylic with gel nail since its easier to do...Good luck.
you are to young you will ruin nails...you can also get a affection!
those fake nails can ruin your real nails. So i wouldn't leave them on for too long.
Ultimatly it is up to you whether or not you get them...I just got acrylic nails for the first time lst week and at the end of it all I ended up spending about $30. They take awhile to get used to but they are fun to have. Look at this way...if they were really bad for you then not so many people would have them...they are only bad for you if they don't clean teir instruments well. have fun...
Acrylic nails will damage your natural nails and starve them from nourishment. It will dry out and become irritated. You should stay away from acrylic nails especially at your age. Try some nail stickers and glitter polish:)
A good set is about 30 dollars. They are bad if they scratch up your nails too much to secure them. They grind into your nails to secure the nail and can ruin the nailbed. If you want them on temporarily-- ask them not to grind, that you won't be getting them refilled. It can be quite painful if they grind to far down so be careful.
Just do one thing: Dont get super long tacky nails. UGH. totally trashy.
Use Lee press on nails. In order for them to place the acrylic nail on they have to sand down your original nail to an almost paper thin consistency. This leaves the nail very thin and prone to bacteria. If the salon does not use sterile techniques you can end up on the bad end right off. you have to continue to keep them filled in each month. Original cost is 30-40$ and then 12-20$ for fill ins. You say your 12 and I'm sure very active physically and do you have any idea how painful it is to break one of these babies. You can not just decide to have them on for an occasion and then just take them off. It is a commitment. When you do take them off your nail are so thin and will have to grow back to normal in due time. If the salons are not using sterile technique the end results could be lost nails for ever. Use the Lee press on nailshow to apply

Can you use your nails to use the touch screen on omnia?
i was looking at getting the omnia from verizon wireless but i was wondering is you had to use your fingertips or if you could use your nails on the touch screen?Can you use your nails to use the touch screen on omnia?
Yes, the Samsung Omnia has a pressure sensitive touch screen, meaning you can use anything to activate the touch screen. I personally prefer heat sensitive touch screens (like the iphone) and am waiting for Verizon to release a heat sensitive touch screen phone.

Is it safe to use super glue to put false nails on with?
i no it will make my nails weak ect dont care bout that as long as its not dangerous in any other way? and yes i no befor people tell me you get nail glue with them but there all pretty crap tbh and never last for me so im going to try super glue so any advice people can give me would be great thanks xIs it safe to use super glue to put false nails on with?
ive done it :) its safe, just as long as you use a solvent to get it off or else it will ruin your nail (as with all nail glues) and be careful if it gets on your skin, if you bite your nails you don't wanna eat the glue!! that would be horrible for you.Is it safe to use super glue to put false nails on with?
When you use super glue a bunch of gunky stuff will build up under your nails, causing an infection. This is the hardened glue being exposed to the germs of pretty much everything you touch. And with super glue your nails will be on for a long time. So the longer you have them on the more gunk builds up. and when they do finally come off it will hurt like hell because the hardened glue mixed with gunky stuff will be stuck to your nail and your false nail so you'll have to pull really hard and you could suffer from pulling part of your actual nail off.
In other words, BAD IDEA
DON'T PUT SUPERGLUE ON UR FINGERNAILS!!!!!!!! IT MAY BE ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO REMOVE THEM WITHOUT REMOVING UR REAL NAILS AS WELL!
NO! Very stupid idea! The nails will be stuck on your nails for a very long time! I would not do that because you will really hate it. You will get sick of the nails and they will get uncomfortable.
Not if you don't want fake nails on for a looong time
Nail glue = Super Glue
They both contain the SAME active ingredients, which is either cyanoacrylate, or ethyl cyanoacrylate - depending on the brand (some may contain cyanoacrylate esters instead, it depends). Compare the labels of any so-called 'nail' glues to any brand of 'super' glues, and you will see this for yourself. Just a simple clarification, thats all.
Having said that, the answer is yes, you can use 'super' glue on press on nails. Or you can use nail glue. No difference between the two.
Is it safe to use? Yes. But it is possible that there could be some damage to your natural nails if you forcibly remove the press on nails, or if they come off from accidently banging them, etc. And this could happen no matter what your choice of glue is. The damage could range from minor (tearing a few layers of your nail off, which is most likely to occur - ouch!) to major damage (ripping part, or all of your natural nail completely off - much less likely to happen, though still possible - major pain in this case!). To minimize any possible damage to your natural nails, apply a coat of clear polish prior to applying the press on nails. Let it dry completely before applying the press on nails. The polish will form a barrier between your natural nails, and the glue. This will also make them come off easier when it comes time to remove them, and will protect them if they come off accidently for whatever reason . But, if you want to keep them for a while, then don't use the clear polish, but then, the risk of damage increases! So, its really a trade off. But, do be careful with them either way, and you should be just fine. I hope that helps.

How do remove fake nails?
I just got fake nails for the first time. and i don't want to go back to the nail salon to get them removed because it will hurt. how do i remove them without it hurting?How do remove fake nails?
Get strong nail polish remover. Pour the nail polish remover into
like a bowl and let your fingers soak in it. It will make the fake nails
start to come loose. You might have to take them off you might not.
It won't hurt though once they've become loose.How do remove fake nails?
ok well i get my nails done alll the time and i would take them off my self. there rele is no way to take them of without hurting if you do it your self because it rips at your real nail. if you go to the salon it rele doesnt hurt. but it takes a long time. they soke your nails in this stuff for like 20-30 mins them they just peal of because they are like melting off but its doesnt hurt.
i have worn fake nails before, all you have to do is fill a plastic cup and put in some nail polish remover in it. You soak your nails in it until you can feel them begin to loosen. then carefully peel them off ;)
Best of luck!
soak them in nail varnish remover for 5 minutes, if they not wobbly when u pull them out, five mins more.. it works for mee hun gd luck xxx
