Question

My child has lost two teeth but the new ones haven’t grown in yet; one has emerged, while the other is only showing a small tip. What could be the reasons for this?

Answer

During the tooth replacement phase, if a child encounters retained baby teeth, it is advisable to have them removed by a dentist promptly. It’s also important to consume foods rich in fiber and with a certain level of hardness, such as fruits, carrots, beans, and corn, to keep the baby teeth well-stimulated and promote timely shedding. Good oral hygiene is also crucial. These are suggestions for the question ‘My child’s lower front teeth have fallen out two at the age of 68 weeks, one has grown out, and the other is only showing a small tip.’ I hope this helps, and wish you good health!
