Patient's question:
A 7-year-old child's tooth loosened two weeks ago due to an injury. Today, while eating, the tooth fell out. The inside of the tooth is hollow. At the place where the tooth fell out, there seems to be a small tooth, but it is soft. What is this... Should I go to the hospital?Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to help you with this question. Based on your description, I understand that your baby injured their tooth half a month ago and it fell out today. Given your situation, since your child is seven years old and in the teething phase, and it's unclear whether the injured tooth is an upper or lower one, and you haven't provided any photos, it's difficult to treat your question. I suggest taking your child to the dental department of a local hospital for a thorough diagnosis and treatment.
