Baby Tooth? Can you please help?!
Question: A friend of mine still has baby tooth and this one isn't staying any longer because it got weak and cracked a year or so. Now it is annoying her and she wants to get ride of it. However there is a little problem, the piece of the tooth is stuck under the gum and she feel it's sharp. What will her dentist do when he/she will pull the tooth out? What will happen to that piece under her gum?
BTW, she's 20

Her dentist will take an xray and go from there. Then a range of things could happen - they could find out the piece is just under the gum and the dentist can put a little topical on it and pull it out, or on the other end they could find it's fused with the bone and she might get referred to an oral surgeon.
OCH!!! she will go to an oral surgon to have it remove it will b fine! good luck!
