Hello,

Thanks for consulting HCM,

Read your query , as permanent tooth is coming and your child deciduous teeth is retained with mobility for this I will suggest you to consult dentist and go for its extraction because if primary teeth retained for sometime permanent teeth doesnt erupt in its correct position there can be chances of malalignment of teeth.

Hope this will help you.

Thanks for using health Care Magic.

Read your query.

Since the child's age is 6 years ,loose milk teeth will fall on their own gradually.
If the mobile tooth is causing disturbance in your child's ability to eat ,speech activity, then you can visit your local dentist and have it removed.

Hope this was useful.
Thanks and regards.
