Loose Tooth

loose-tooth

Children are usually blessed with a set of 20 primary teeth (ten upper jaws and ten lower jaws) which begin to shed off once they are at the age of 6. If your child's teeth are loose, it's most likely because it's time for the baby tooth to exit and the adult tooth to make an entrance. Losing the first tooth can be a bit frightening but it's absolutely a natural process. But sometimes when there's some trauma or accident and the tooth becomes loose unnaturally, see your dentist immediately.

We at the World Of Dentistry Gurgaon are specialized in any kind of dental assistant and helps you per your requirements. Normally, whichever tooth comes first is the first to go. The process of losing baby teeth usually begins at the age of 6 or 7. Your dentist will explain to you about the teething chart. The baby tooth's roots have to dissolve to fall out and make room for the permanent adult tooth. Trying to remove a loose tooth before it's ready could lead to bleeding and discomfort.

If there's pain after the tooth removal, consider:

1) No hot foods until the numbness wears off.
2) Soft food for the first 24 hours.
3) Brushing and rinsing to be avoided for the first 24 hours.
4) Gentle rinse with saline water.
5) Take the counter pain relief medication as needed.

The best way to extract the loose tooth is to do nothing and allow the tooth to come out on its own. There will be less pain and less blood. A little tender love and oral care will do the trick. And in case of accidental swallowing just stay calm as it'll pass out naturally from the body. Our team of best child dentists in Gurgaon will guide you.
