Cosmetic Dentist in Fort Lauderdale
The first time their kids lose a baby tooth is a big deal for parents. However, they may not realize that others will follow once one tooth comes out – and soon! That's why dentists recommend bringing your child in as soon as you see the signs of a loose tooth: tears or bruising around the gums, swollen gums, gum pain, decreased appetite and having trouble chewing. Then, the dentist will check if the emerging adult teeth are healthy and ready to come through and take their place in your child's smile. If they're not willing yet (or if there's an issue with them), then the dentist may choose to let it be for now and reevaluate at their next visit. More than likely, though, we've seen it before and know it's time to get to work.
