    Changing baby teeth: when and how to perform extraction

    The change of temporary teeth to permanent molars takes place around the age of 5-7 years and depends on many factors. Specialists categorically do not recommend removing them at home. The only exception is when the root has loosened, the tooth has begun to wobble, and it can be easily pulled out. But even in this case, it is better to consult a dentist.

    Among the direct indications for medical extraction of a milk tooth are the following:

    • deep caries or advanced periodontitis;
    • formation of a cyst or pustule at the root apex;
    • large strong roots that interfere with the growth of the permanent one;
    • trauma to the root part – chipped, cracked, fractured;
    • the risk of forming an incorrect bite.

    When to consult a dentist when changing teeth in children

    There are known cases when the dental unit is mobile, but does not leave the dental bed. Therefore, it causes discomfort to the child and bleeds. In this case, it is also necessary to consult a dentist.

    If after the tooth fell out, gum bleeding began, apply a sterile cotton swab to the hole. If after 5-10 minutes the blood does not stop coming out, immediately consult a dentist. The change of teeth can pass quite calmly, at home, but may require the intervention of a specialist. In any case, it is responsible and not a quick process for parents.
