Make sure enough time has elapsed after you got it done. This should usually be at least six weeks.

Wash your hands and wash out your mouth. Carefully unscrew one side of the ring; the top is probably easier. Don't push too hard, be patient. Wash your mouth out after.

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.

What do you do in the case of an adult tooth growing in behind the baby tooth before it has fallen out?

Most of the time the baby tooth will fall out eventually. If it doesn't seem to be getting loose, it should be removed by a dentist so it doesn't cause adult teeth to be crowded or crooked.


How does a baby root canal work?

Not given to babies. ANOTHER ANSWER: Sometimes a procedure called a 'pulpotomy' is performed on baby teeth. It is essentially the same as a root canal procedure on an adult tooth. The tooth is numbed with local anesthetic, the tooth is opened with a dental drill, the nerve and the infection is removed, and filling material is used to restore the tooth. It will typically preserve the baby tooth until the tooth is lost in the normal process of growth or 'exfoliation' where baby teeth are lost to make room for the permanent teeth.

What if your adult tooth is coming in behind your baby tooth and the baby tooth is not getting loose to pull?

This happened`with our six year old. Sometimes the adult teeth do not "attack" the root of the "baby" tooth and weaken it enough to make it fall out first. This is not an "emergency" but you should probably have the tooth looked at by a pediatric dentist. It is quite normal for the permanent tooth to appear slightly behind the baby tooth and slightly before the baby tooth is lost. If it is "wiggly", it probably won't make much difference whether the tooth is removed or allowed to come out on its own. The tongue does a good job of pushing the permanent tooth forward into position if there is adequate space. A lot depends on the amount of spacing among the baby teeth. Definitely ask your child's dentist about the "arch length" at your next visit. The biggest concern is that the new tooth will not have room to be properly placed. In situations like this, the baby tooth will have to be pulled. Sometimes the coexisting tooth will work out the baby tooth on its own. Some dentists will say to give it one to two months to see if the "baby" tooth works out on its own. One other thing though, ONLY in the lower front is it normal for the teeth to erupt behind. Anywhere else, if the permanent tooth hasn't come out, then the baby tooth may need some help. Basically, it is a judgment call for the dentist, and except in a few extreme cases, there is no "right" answer. To view a chart about teeth eruption, visit the Related Link.

What type of dentist extracts a tooth?

Usually a dentist if the tooth is required to be removed. If the tooth is just loose because it's a "baby" tooth then it should fall out by itself with time and wiggling. If you are talking about your wisdom teeth that is usually done by an oral surgeon by appointment.
