So the child does not have an Ice like feeling when eating cold foods, chewables and chocolates. Some say the dentist's main reasoning is for financial gain.
Ask your dentist.
A reputable dentist would not pull baby teeth without a reason he could back up with X-rays and published research. The most common area of a dentist pulling baby teeth is the upper incisors and canines. He would be concerned, if there was evidence via X-rays, that the permanent teeth were becoming impacted or twisting because of the late eruption of the permanent teeth, and may make the decision to help nature along.
To see before your dentist will take out your teeth, ask for an x-ray and ask all the questions that is on your mind. If the dentist can't answer the question, go and ask an another dentist to see what his/her opinion is
Well it's hard to say,I lost all my baby teeth in the 4th grade but i was 9 at the time. I lost my teeth fast because i had a alot of cavaties and 1 sweet tooth(DEAD TOOTH) and my cousin is 14 she still didn't lose all of them yet. But the faster you lose your baby teeth the faster your wisdom teeth come in.
If the dentist says that they have to pull out your baby teeth, then there must be something very wrong with the teeth. Either they have holes, or they are rotting and could spread an infection...then they would have to pull them out. If your teeth have none of these problems, then you should be able to pull them out yourself when they are ready.
It's fine to still have baby teeth at 13, you could go to the dentist if you're concerned though
In most places, by law, a dentist has to take x-rays, and analyze them before doing any kind of treatment, even for extraction of baby teeth.
They shouldn't, unless you still have deciduos[ baby ] teeth. Indicative of probable gum disease. Please see a dentist.
It really depends on the tooth. When I got two baby teeth pulled out, my dentist saw that one had an abnormally long root/spur.
Pulling baby teeth out does not usually cause a person any pain. Baby teeth have a very small root or no root and are usually painless to remove. If your baby teeth are causing you pain when you pull them out, you should probably check with a dentist to be sure that the teeth and gums are healthy.
This happened to me and one of the baby teeth eventually fell out. I had to have two others pulled out by the dentist.
It is not uncommon for your children's permanent teeth to start coming in while baby teeth are still there. However, this can cause complications, so you should see your dentist to see if the baby teeth need to be removed.
