What Could Be The Reason For The Continuous Nose Bleed?
My 4-year old son has a lot of nose bleeds--about 6-10 per month--and yesterday at his first dental exam with x-rays, it was noted that the roots of his top two front teeth have eroded away and no longer connect with the adult teeth underneath. Is there any connection between the missing roots and the nosebleeds?

Hello, Thank you for consulting with HCM.
Yes this nose bleeding and resorption of root can be associated with each other. It can be possible that there might be an infection of upper jaw bone which is causing these symptoms.
So you should not delay the condition anymore, visit a pedodontist (child dentist) and get a complete mouth x-ray done (OPG) done.
Hope it will help you.
