Question
I feel like the new tooth I just got is about to fall out when eating. What should I do?
Answer
The new tooth may become loose due to gingivitis. If there’s no toothache, it might be that the milk tooth is about to fall out to make way for the permanent tooth. Permanent teeth are less likely to fall out unless affected by external forces. It’s recommended to observe the color and size of the tooth. If it’s a milk tooth, a permanent tooth will grow in its place after it falls out; if it’s a permanent tooth, the gap will remain. If there’s gingivitis, the teeth should become tighter after treatment.
