Most common questions used to investigate
Have you pulled your child’s baby teeth before?
Have you noticed your child’s baby tooth being loose?
Does your child complain about particular baby tooth pain?
Common conclusions
If you have no such experience, it is better to visit your pediatric dentist to remove a baby tooth. Doing it yourself can easily damage soft tissues, the new coming tooth or leave some parts of loose tooth in socket. This is also painful enough. Moreover, such extractions can lead to infection. These teeth fall out naturally in major cases. You can help your child to get rid of it by eating harder foods like apples or carrots.
Noticing your child’s baby tooth being loose is normal due to baby teeth roots make pathways for the adult teeth and when adult teeth are ready to come out, baby roots dissolve making the tooth loose. Naturally they should not be pulled by force. You should only help your child to get rid of it by eating harder foods like apples or carrots. If tooth loosening causes pain, please visit your pediatric dentist for further examination.
It seems there are some inconveniences your child faced due to his baby toot. Pain can sign a decay being in progress or just painful loosening. If you know there was a cavity, you should visit your pediatric dentist as soon as possible. If there is just uncomfortable loosening, please be patient and try using calming gel remedies to reduce infection risks and kill the pain a little bit. If there are both variants, the baby tooth is damaged and loose, it is better to remove it. This may help to avoid risks of infection and damaging the coming adult tooth. Please visit your pediatric dentist for further examination and treatment.
Based on your answers, it is difficult to determine whether you may need to remove baby tooth yourself. Please visit your pediatric dentist as soon as possible.
