Suggest Treatment For Loose Teeth In A Child

My 18 month old son has no history of trauma to his teeth. But his top central incisors and lower central incisors seem a bit more mobile then the rest of his teeth.Is this normal or should I be concerned? He has all teeth but his canines all just poked through. Could this just be his teeth finding their place?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain during the initial period of tooth eruption the and along with erupting teeth the jaw also keep growing leading to movement of teeth and occupying their appropriate position..
There are certain grades of mobility and the teeth should lie under it to be normal and healthy..
A very slight mobillty of front teeth can be seen as compared to back teeth as the front teeth has a single root and less Anchorage than back teeth with multiple roots..
I would therefore suggest you to consult a Pedodontist and get evaluated and he can check whether the teetj are normal as slight mobility is not abnormal as teeth are surrounded in the root area by a cushion like ligament and not tightly bound to bone..
Any abnormality needs to be further evaluated by x rays and treated accordingly..
As of now maintenance of good Oral hygiene and a healthy diet should be given..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
