Can a new tooth erupt if a milk tooth is lost in a fall?

Question

Hi doctor,

My baby is one and a half years old. While playing, she fell down and she lost her upper front tooth from the root. Is it possible for her to have that tooth again?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have gone through your query and it is painful to see a baby with pain. Do not be worried. As it is a primary tooth, you can have a permanent tooth eruption by the age of seven years. Kindly be patient. If possible, you can upload an image of the area to see whether any other treatment is needed.

Your child can have pain and kindly squeeze a cotton ball dipped in chilled water and hold it on the area if there is bleeding. It helps to reduce bleeding. You can use Rexdin M forte gel (Chlorhexidine with Metronidazole and Lidocaine) to the injured area.

I hope this has helped you. Please feel free to reach me again, in case of further queries.

Thank you.
