Patient's question:
Is there any danger if a tooth grows inside the gum under the child's front teeth and is removed? Patient: Male, 4 and a half years old, good health. One of the front teeth fell out at one year old. Treatment history and effectiveness: No treatment.Doctor's answer:
No danger, but first it is necessary to confirm the condition of this tooth—is it a newly erupted permanent tooth or a supernumerary tooth? Advice: At the age of eighteen, it is generally impossible for permanent teeth to grow. It is best to take an X-ray to check. If it is a permanent tooth, it is the best case scenario. If it is a supernumerary tooth, it needs to be removed. There will be absolutely no danger in this case. The above advice is for the question "A new tooth has grown in the gums behind the front teeth of a child, should it be removed?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
