What should I do if a 9-year-old child’s front teeth are knocked out?

Teeth are very important to everyone, because they are not only related to a person's appearance, but also to a person's health. Many friends do not properly treat their damaged teeth, which results in infection and even serious oral diseases. Therefore, when faced with the problem of broken teeth, it is important to deal with it in a timely manner. So, what should I do if a 9-year-old child's front teeth are knocked out?

According to what you said, the front teeth of a nine-year-old child should be permanent teeth! Teeth are tissues that will not regenerate! If you knock off this piece of tooth, it will be gone, and the shape of the tooth will be like this!

Guidance:

If the child is not in pain now, you can observe without treatment! You can also use light-cured resin to temporarily restore the shape of the teeth! If you want to make porcelain teeth to restore the shape of the teeth, you have to wait until you are 18 years old! Now, knocking on the i tooth will cause a certain degree of damage to the tooth, so don't let your child eat with this tooth for the time being!

1. Teenagers’ front teeth are knocked out

If a teenager's front teeth are knocked out, they can be replanted into the alveolar bone if the teeth are intact and medical treatment is sought in time. Regarding tooth replantation, the child or parent is required to pick up the tooth immediately after it is knocked out, taking care to hold the crown and not touch the root. After picking up the tooth, if it is covered with dust, you can rinse the tooth under clean water, but do not rub the tooth. Then put the tooth back into its socket or hold it under your tongue. If you don't want to put it in your mouth, you can soak it in saline or milk. After doing all this, parents should quickly take their children to the hospital for treatment, and the doctor will arrange for tooth reimplantation. Wolgen Dental recommends that tooth reimplantation should be performed within two hours of tooth loss. The success rate is very high. The longer the time, the lower the success rate. It is generally best not to exceed 24 hours. If it exceeds 24 hours, the operation will be difficult, the success rate will be small, and it requires very high technical skills of the doctor.

2. No obstruction to tooth root

If the area of ​​the crown that has been knocked off is not large, the tooth root is intact, and the tooth can be retained after examination, it can be repaired depending on the situation. If the defect area is small, the tooth can be directly filled; if the defect area is too large to be filled, a crown restoration is required.

3. Tooth roots are damaged and cannot be retained or fall off completely

Generally, tooth replantation is more common in adolescents. If a teenager’s front teeth fall out and tooth replantation is not possible, the doctor can treat the loss of the tooth and then repair it in adulthood. For adults, when teeth cannot be retained and must be extracted or when teeth fall out completely, dental restoration can be performed directly. In recent years, there are three main common methods of repairing missing teeth, namely dental implants, porcelain teeth, and removable dentures. Patients can choose according to their own situation and demands.
