Child Having Shark Tooth, Baby Tooth Loose, Gums Swollen. Teeth Wiggling Since Months. Solution?
My 5 year old has a shark tooth and her baby tooth has been very loose for months now....well tonight I noticed her gums are very swollen (she bit on her tooth at dinner). I called her dentist and they said they dont really want to pull since its real loose. But its been like that for months and shes always wiggling it.

Hi,
Thanks for asking the query,
As you have mentioned the tooth is loose so it will fall down by its own after sometimes.
Swollen gums can be because of inflammation.
Give your child lukewarm saline and antiseptic mouthwash rinses.
Take care!
