What Can Be Done For Pain In Crooked Growing Teeth?
My 7 year old is cutting his 6 year old molars. After taking him to a dentist for pain we discovered the molar is growing in crooked and wedged behind a baby tooth and the baby tooth isn't loosening quickly enough. We are scheduled to see a pedadontist. What will they likely do for it?

Dear sir/Mam,
I understand your problem.If a patient of your kind visits my clinic, first i will check the X- Ray to conclude whether the permanent molar can come out straight on its own.If its totally drifted or hitting the milk tooth , better to extract the milk tooth to provide some millimeters of space for the eruption of permanent molars.At the same time,space maintainers can be given to prevent total loss of extraction space of the milk tooth.so that the permanent tooth under the extracted milk tooth will have enough space to erupt later.space maintainers comes in different forms usually a strand of wire .Absolutely there is nothing to worry.
Hope your query is answered.please dont hesitate to contact me back for further queries.
