Loose baby teeth can feel like they take forever, especially when your child is wiggling it nonstop and you are trying to figure out if it is normal.
Most of the time, the best approach is to let it come out on its own. Gentle wiggling is fine, but pulling can cause extra bleeding, pain, or a little panic that makes the whole thing harder than it needs to be. Crunchy foods like apples can sometimes help naturally, as long as your child is comfortable.
A few reasons to give us a call are if the tooth is causing ongoing pain, the gum looks swollen or irritated, your child is avoiding chewing on that side, or you are seeing the adult tooth coming in behind it and you are not sure what to do next.
If you want us to take a look, call Sea Smiles and we will help you decide the next step.
