Pediatric dentist “SM-Dentistry” Julia Zhuchkovskaya in an interview with RIAMO saidin which cases it is impossible to save the milk tooth. One of them, he says, is trauma.
“If after some time after the injury you notice that the color of the tooth has changed, for example, it is gray, then you need to contact your dentist for an X-ray diagnosis. And if he approves of the development of this process, then the tooth will have to be removed, ”explained Zhuchkovskaya.
He also noted that when the decaying process turns into periodontitis (inflammation of the tissues surrounding the tooth root), it is necessary to get rid of a milk tooth, which can damage the base of the molar. Also, according to him, a common reason for the extraction of a milk tooth is root caries, which develops deep in the gum.
