Is it possible to replace a lost tooth in my child?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
My baby is two years old and accidentally fell down today, and his one front tooth came out, so will it be possible to replace it again?
Kindly advise.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
In many cases, the fallen tooth can be fixed again.
It depends upon how fast you reach your dentist or how you have preserved the tooth in the meantime.
I would suggest that you put the tooth in milk till you reach your dentist, and make an appointment for today itself.
Let the dentist examine; if things are all right, then that tooth will be fixed; otherwise, you will be given alternative space maintainers for the time being till the permanent teeth are ready to erupt.
I repeat, kindly take the appointment for today itself and let the dentist examine thoroughly.
The final decision will be yours after a complete physical examination by the dentist.
Trust your dentist and cooperate.
I hope I am clear to you.
I wish a speedy recovery for the little one.
Take care.
Thank you.
