tooth out
Bobby, 5 mths old jumped and tried to bite kim's metal button on her jacket.
Bobby's left canine tooth came out, blood and all. The site has some tooth in it, and Bobby is happy for me to touch it. His gum is not different coloured there. He is eating normally, chewing everything he enjoys, so .... the question is... Am I right in assuming the tooth I can see will be his adult one coming through, or is it more likely to be a bit of broken baby tooth? |

Re: tooth out
At five months old I would expect it will be the adult tooth growing through. It would be very unlikely that the baby tooth would have been knocked out so easily without the adult tooth already pushing it outwards. You should be able to tell by looking at the tooth that came out to see if it's broken.

Re: tooth out
Just had Bobby to the vet.
Yes, it is a bit of his baby tooth, he has lost other teeth too, cleanly. He is teething. There is no infection, continue cleaning his teeth and keep an eye on him. £17.50 for reasurrance! |
