Your son lost a baby tooth and there seems to be an exposed root what should you do?

Did the tooth break off? Otherwise, if it was loose and just fell out, that's probably the big tooth coming in underneath! It's not uncommon for parents to confuse this with a root.

If you have a baby tooth and an adult tooth is growing in front of the baby tooth would you need to remove the baby tooth?
This is very common in children where the adult tooth comes out behind or in front of the baby tooth. Sometimes the baby tooth becomes loose as the adult tooth comes out more and extraction is not necessary. If the tooth is not becoming loose, then the tooth should be removed.

Should you get a root canal on a baby tooth?
No. That would just be a waste of time and money. In many cases, you wouldn't even get a root canal on a permanent tooth. You would most likely have it pulled depending on what tooth it is. Just have the baby-tooth pulled since it is going to be pulled someday, regardless.
