What should I do if a child's tooth falls out and doesn't grow back?

Patient's question:

The child is 8 years old this year. Two of his front teeth fell out in June last year, and they haven't grown back yet. His teeth were originally decayed.
Previous treatment and outcomes: He went to the dentist and was told that they would grow back in a while.
What kind of help is needed: Hello, what is the reason for this? What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

I'm glad to explain your statement. So, during the teething period, it's important to ensure adequate nutrition, trace element intake, and vitamin D. If a tooth falls out but the new one doesn't grow in promptly, it's recommended to take the child to the hospital for a trace element test. If there's a deficiency, it should be addressed promptly. The above advice is for the question "A child's tooth fell out but the new one isn't growing in." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
