How to Handle New Teeth Growing in a Child’s Gums

Question

How should one handle the situation where a new tooth is growing in a child’s gums?

Answer

It is recommended to first confirm whether the tooth is a permanent tooth or a supernumerary tooth. Typically, children do not grow permanent teeth until they are 4 and a half years old, so an X-ray examination is suggested. If it is a permanent tooth, there is no need to worry; if it is a supernumerary tooth, it may need to be removed, and the process is not dangerous. This advice is for the question of whether a new tooth growing in a child’s gums needs to be removed, and I hope it helps you. Wishing you health!
