Patient's question:
Do baby teeth fall out automatically when children lose their teeth? First question supplement: However, my child is already 8 years old and has started to notice that two of his teeth are very loose. Because my child is afraid of pain, he is unwilling to let the dentist pull the teeth. After a while, he found that the loose teeth had tightened again, and new teeth had grown next to the original teeth. What should I do now??Doctor's answer:
Hello, child, when you lose your baby teeth, if the permanent teeth have already erupted, you need to have the baby teeth extracted. If the permanent teeth have not yet erupted, let the baby teeth fall out naturally. Because if the permanent teeth have already erupted, but the baby teeth have not fallen out, it will affect the eruption of the permanent teeth and the future arrangement of the teeth.Generally, after losing a baby tooth, a permanent tooth will grow within one or two months, but it varies from person to person. It is recommended that you have your child pay attention to supplementing nutrients, especially trace elements like calcium and zinc, which are important for growth and development.
It is recommended to visit a dentist to check if there is any connection with the permanent teeth. If there is no connection, it can be removed.
