Tooth Broken to the Gum Line A tooth that has broken off at the gum line, leaving only the root behind, needs to be extracted. Otherwise, the root can become infected and cause a swelling. Once you are numb, the procedure can be quick. Best, Dr. Elizabeth Jahanian.

Baby Teeth: Frequently Asked Questions It may be a real baby tooth or an extra tooth in the set that has grown over the baby tooth and permanent tooth underneath it. This extra tooth will fall out when the baby tooth erupts. But sometimes these teeth -- real or extra -- need to be removed, to avoid the risk of choking if they're loose, for example, so a tooth doesn't get in the way of breastfeeding.

Causes and consequences of tooth loss Tooth loss is normal with baby teeth, where at some point in a child’s life, a tooth becomes lose and then falls off, but is later replaced by an adult tooth. Otherwise loosing a tooth is unfavourable and if it happens with adult teeth, it’s the result of injury, tooth decay or periodontal disease. Decades ago it was considered normal to lose your teeth as you grew old. But if you have missing teeth, you lose the ability to chew on food and stay healthy.

When Do Baby Teeth Fall Out? Most kids lose their first tooth in the years between kindergarten and first grade at the average age of six to seven years old. Don't worry if your child hits his eighth birthday before he loses his first tooth. What's more important is the order in which the teeth fall out and are replaced with permanent teeth. You might notice that your child loses his teeth in roughly the same order they came in. For example, most children lose their bottom center teeth first, which are likely the first ones that erupted when he was a baby.

Children's health The first baby teeth to fall out are typically the two bottom front teeth (lower central incisors) and the two top front teeth (upper central incisors), followed by the lateral incisors, molars and canines. Molars typically fall out between ages 9 and 12 and are replaced by permanent teeth by about age 13. Baby teeth usually stay in place until they are pushed out by permanent teeth. If a child loses a baby tooth early as a result of tooth decay or an accident, the teeth beside it might drift into the empty space.

Problems with Baby Teeth Not Falling Out Sometimes a permanent tooth will erupt behind a baby tooth, forming a double row of teeth. It happens more often in the front teeth (incisors). The baby tooth will usually fall out within a week or two because of the pressure and the permanent one will move to its normal place without problems.

- Sometimes the dentist is able to reattach the portion of tooth that broke off, so you should save it if you can. Take the shard and put it in a container with milk or saliva to keep it from rotting. Then bring it with you when you visit the dentist. 1  You should never try to reattach the portion of tooth yourself.

When Do Children's Baby Teeth Fall Out? When the adult teeth begin to make their way in the direction of the mouth, they dissolve the root of the the baby tooth that is essentially in its way. 1  This is this process that causes the baby teeth to become loose. Once most, if not all of the root has been dissolved, the tooth becomes very wiggly, and is ready to come out. Your child will begin to lose baby teeth very close to the order in which they first made their appearance into your child's mouth. As the baby teeth are lost, the adult teeth begin to take their place.
