There are all kinds of factors that affect what your next step should be, the most important being whether they\u2019ve lost a baby tooth or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re wondering how to handle this situation, here\u2019s some advice you may find useful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">If Your Child Loses a Baby Tooth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If a baby tooth falls out on its own when it\u2019s supposed to, there\u2019s nothing to worry about. Usually this will happen after a few days of the tooth already being loose, so it shouldn\u2019t come as all that much of a surprise. There may be some mild bleeding, but this should go away on its own pretty quickly. Just reassure your child that everything is ok.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, a baby tooth being knocked out before it\u2019s ready can pose some problems. The primary teeth serve to make room for the secondary (or adult) teeth, and losing one early can lead to alignment issues when the adult teeth finally come in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When a baby tooth comes out prematurely it\u2019s a good idea to let your dentist have a look. They\u2019ll be able to perform X-rays and see if the permanent tooth has formed yet. If not, your child may need to wear a spacer until it comes in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">If Your Child Loses a Permanent Tooth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Obviously, losing a permanent tooth is a much more serious situation. First, you should make sure there isn\u2019t severe damage to your child\u2019s mouth and do what you can to stop any bleeding. You should then try and find the tooth that was lost and gently wash off any debris. Hold the tooth by the enamel, and try to keep as much of the root as possible intact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once it\u2019s clean, place the tooth in a cup of milk. Saltwater will also do in a pinch, though it\u2019s less than ideal. This will preserve it until you can get to the dentist\u2019s office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once this is done, or if you can\u2019t find the tooth, you should go to the closest dentist to you immediately. Time is of the essence, as the faster you move, the better the odds that the tooth can be replaced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Everybody has to make a living, and Dr. John Roberson is incredibly happy that he gets to do that by helping the people around him get healthy, beautiful smiles.
