Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I have a milk tooth that has not fallen. An adult tooth grows through my gums. My milk tooth is loose and causes pain. What to do?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
You need to extract your milk tooth within its shedding time by consulting your local dentist. This gives a clear path for the permanent tooth to erupt. Now, you need to extract your milk tooth and you may require an orthodontic procedure to correct your misalignment of a permanent tooth. Kindly send me an image to guide you further.
