Your child losing tooth can be a nerve racking thing. Children are generally very active and this can mean accidents that can knock a tooth out or even fracture a tooth. The question is always, "was it a baby tooth that was lost, or a permanent tooth?". If it was a baby tooth there is little to worry about unless your child is quite young. If it was a permanent tooth there is always the chance that it can still be saved if the situation is handled properly.

      Your family dentist can be a great source of information about your child losing tooth. A family dentist will be able to help both children and parents through all their dental work. Family dental care is all about establishing a good long lasting relationship that is comfortable for all family members. At the Atlanta Dental Group PC we strive to create the atmosphere of a dental family to make our patients and employees happy.

      A child losing tooth chart is a good idea. It lets you keep track of which teeth are permanent and which ones are not. Tooth eruption of the adult teeth tends to occur between the ages of 6 to 13, with those annoying wisdom teeth coming in later between 17 to 25. There are 32 permanent teeth in the human mouth. Wisdom tooth extraction is more often than not a very good idea. A horizontally impacted wisdom tooth can cause even more problems.
