I CAN UNDERSTAND YOUR CONCERN.
IN SOME CASES THE MILK TOOTH OR THE BABY TOOTH DOES NOT FALL BY ITSELF AND THE PERMANENT TOOTH STARTS ERUPTING AND IN CONDITION WHERE THE BABY TOOTH DOES NOT FALL EVEN AFTER THE PERMANENT TOOTH STARTS APPEARING IN THE MOUTH CAN LEAD TO IMPROPER PLACEMENT OF THE PERMANENT TOOTH IN THE ARCH AND CAN LEAD TO MAL ALIGNMENT OF THE TEETH.
YOU SHOULD REFER A PEDIATRIC DENTIST AND GET AN IOPAR DONE AND IF THE BABY TOOTH SHOWS NO SIGNS OF ITS ROOTS RESORPTION YOU MAY EVEN NEED TO GET THE BABY TOOTH EXTRACTED (REMOVED)
