Question

My child is 68 weeks old and has lost two lower front teeth. One has grown back, but the other has only poked out a small tip and hasn’t grown back. Is it because the adjacent teeth are blocking it?

Answer

During the tooth replacement process, if there is a recurrence of milk tooth retention, it is necessary to go to the dental department in a timely manner to have the retained milk tooth removed. In daily life, it is important to eat foods high in fiber and with a certain hardness, such as fruits, carrots, beans, corn, etc., to always maintain a good stimulating effect on the milk teeth, forcing them to fall out on time, and to pay attention to oral hygiene.
