What To Do As The Top Incisors Are Coming Out Of The Tooth?

Hi! My 6.5 year old daughter's top incisors are coming out. They have done so normally until now, when they have both completely snapped off from the root, but are hanging from some pink fleshy substance. It doesn't look pleasant and they are literally swinging about on it! It doesn't hurt her and she can twist the teeth 180 degrees, but when /how will the teeth become detached if the fleshy bit is still alive? We have never seen anything like this and her two big sisters never had this problem. Thankyou

Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query.
the retained deciduos teeth can be removed under local anesthesia and the permanent teeth erupts. Consult a oral physician and get the teeth and extra soft tissue removed. I hope my answer will help you. Take care.
