Question
An 11-year-old child accidentally knocked out half of their front tooth while playing. Is there a chance for new teeth to grow? If not, are there any other treatment options?
Answer
Hello, based on the information you provided, your child is already 11 years old, and children at this age should have already replaced their baby teeth with permanent teeth, so it is unlikely that new teeth will grow. We suggest you take your child to an oral clinic for a detailed examination and diagnosis. If the front tooth is severely damaged, root canal treatment may be necessary. Additionally, be sure to pay special attention to your child’s oral hygiene in daily life to maintain good oral health. We hope this information is helpful to you, and wish you and your child good health!
