Question
My child is six and a half years old, and the central incisor has fallen out for three months but hasn’t grown out yet. What should I do?
Answer
The lower middle teeth usually grow out within a week after falling out. Since the child is 6 years old and just starting to change teeth, some may grow out earlier while others later. It’s normal to have this variation. You can go to the oral department for an X-ray to check the growth and development of the tooth that hasn’t grown out after three months. If the mucosa in the tooth replacement area is hyperkeratotic, you might consider using an aid to promote growth. This is the suggestion for the question ‘What should I do if my child’s central incisor hasn’t grown out after three months?’ I hope this helps you, and wish you good health!
