My 3 yr old daughter recently got pushed in school and hit her front tooth. The right tooth is loose while the left isn't. We went to the dentist and the xray showed both front teeth were fractured. Went to 3 pedia dentist and all of them recommend extraction. I would like to know if anyone has experienced this without extraction as a solution and the result of the tooth?
Come on its probley her baby teeth.wont know the diffence in 10 years when she has all her adult choppers.
And besides my son had a tooth in the front replaced with what they now call a flapper.its fake and stays in with a wire.
3 dentists gave you the same recommendation and you want us to tell you what to do?
Do what they tell you.
They will turn black. They will rot.
If the teeth are fractured then they are going to die. I would say that with 3 pediatric dentists telling you that the teeth need to come out, the teeth need to come out.
They would have come out sooner or later anyway.
I had a friend whose son fractured a front tooth and they left it in and then it died and turned black and had to come out anyway.
When I was 4, my two front teeth took a hit.
We left them for a bit, but in several months, they began to become discolored...and had to be pulled.
My kindergarten and first grade school pictures featured no front teeth...but by the end of first grade, adult teeth were on their way in!
I'd take the dentist advice.
Nope. 3 dentists told you they needed to be extracted they need to be before damage is caused to the adult tooth
They will discolor. Or abscess.they can damage the permanent teeth, left alone.
Be glad they're baby teeth. It'll just be awhile before the permanent teeth cone in.
If not extracted, a dead tooth can do significant damage to the tooth behind it, and you don't want that!
What happened with my then 5 or 5 1/2 year old daughter: she got out of the bath tub and ran(knowing the floor was wet) felled forward and busted her mouth. One of the top tooth was loose and bleeding a little. I called the dentist and got her in with her dentist. They did a x-ray showing everything look good. They wanted her back in I think 6 months for a regular cleaning etc. Well over the months that tooth became discolored. Went in 6 months later they did another x-ray which show it became infected up in the gum/root area. They said it needed to be pulled.She was happy afterwards because she knew the tooth fairy was coming to our house that night.lol. Now our 4 year old son just recently busted his front tooth and bled a little a stop. Its loose a little and last Friday they had dentist appointments and that front tooth Is discolored. x-ray show everything look good but they wanted him back in 2 months to redo another xray to see if its infected. I didn't want my daughters tooth pulled but I knew it had to or it would caused problems. But all I can say is she looks so darn cute with her missing tooth.lol
The fact that three separate dentists have made the same recommendation should tell you that extraction is the correct solution. The fact that it's only her baby teeth is a good thing. You don't to risk abscess that can damage her adult teeth. Trust me on this. It wouldn't be too long before she loses them naturally anyway.
My husband has a dead tooth from when his sister hit him with a baseball bat. It's an adult tooth that should have been removed. His mother couldn't bear to "do that to him" and he's carried that same attitude and he has to keep getting abscesses drained. He'd rather risk his healthy teeth, have an abscess drained over and over again than remove the dead, ugly tooth and have a false tooth.
Don't do that to your child.
