Patient's question:
Below are the 4 front teeth: 2 years ago, I went to the hospital to have the 2 middle ones pulled. Last year, I had the right one pulled. Last August, the left one grew in. So far, I have gone to the hospital 4 times, and the doctor says it needs to be loose before it can be pulled. It has grown to 2/3 of its full size, but the milk tooth isn't loose, so the doctor won't pull it. Why didn't the previous 3 pulled teeth need to be loose? Why does the doctor now insist that it must be loose before it can be pulled? What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Hello, your child is seven years old. There is a phenomenon where new teeth grow even though the baby teeth haven't fallen out. It's important to pay attention to oral hygiene and provide your child with appropriate amounts of calcium for digestion. Sugary foods should be limited.Advice: Another point is to ensure a diverse diet for your child during this period. Pay close attention to oral hygiene. You can consider having the baby teeth removed to encourage the growth and development of permanent teeth.
The above advice is for the question "My child is 7 years old and new teeth are growing even though the baby teeth haven't fallen out." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
