Suggest Treatment For A Cracked Baby Tooth

Hi,

I have a baby tooth 2nd premolar that cracked in half recently and then I just pulled out the tooth and now a piece if flesh is hanging what do I do? As I am tempted to pull it out..

And my second question is my other baby 2nd premolar on my left side has also cracked in half and another tooth is growing inside of it and it had been there for months now and the adult tooth is growing in the middle and the baby tooth is splitting on each side.. What do I do?

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
Nothing to be panic, usually when the permanent tooth erupts the milk tooth starts shaking and exfoliates. The split tooth or remaining tooth piece will fall down by its own. If it does not fall or if it is causing pain, then you can consult a pediatric dental surgeon and get the pieces removed.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.

Hello,

Thanks for consulting HCM

Read your query, as you have cracked tooth dont worry consult oral surgeon and go for removal of remaing part of tooth under anaesthesia and follow post extraction instuctions and take proper course of medication .
For your other baby also consult oral surgeon and go for iopa xray if permanent tooth is about to erupt then go for extraction of cracked tooth .

Hope this will help you.
