Very loose tooth at age four????

Hi guys,





My son is four and will be five in march. The other day I noticed his front left tooth looked like it had shifted forward a lil bit. (like he bit into something and it was pushed forward?) Today my aunt was watching him for a few hours, and when I got home she told me she had given him an apple. She said when he bit into it, his tooth became very loose! Its really wiggly, and I am very worried.. Can anyone tell me, if a tooth was accidentally forced out, if the permanant tooth will take a while to grown in? It is saturday nite, and I am so anxious I cannot wait until Monday to know!!! Is there anything I can do to prevent the tooth loss? Help Please!!!

Very loose tooth at age four????
it won't take that long but that happened to my lil sister it will come back eventually i promise
Reply:the new tooth may force its way through, but, face it. You can't fight mother nature. I'd bet the new tooth will come in slowly. Tell him not to wiggle with the tooth but let ti be in control.
Reply:I wouldn't worry too much. My brother lost his front teeth at around four. I didn't lose mine until 7 or 8. Kids bodies change at different times. The apple would not have loosened it unless it is ready to be coming out. I have known kids who have had baby teeth knocked out by accident and the adult teeth have come through fine although there has been a bit of a wait. If the tooth is not ready to come out it will tighten up again. Baby teeth are not meant to be permanent and their roots are not big or solid. Don't worry about it unless your son is in a lot of pain and if that is the case take him to the doctor.
Reply:its loose for a reason. The tooth is ready to fall out, the new tooth will follow soon after. Kids lose their first tooth anywhere from 4-7 yrs, hes just an early bloomer!
Reply:dont be panic.just ask a doctor on monday
Reply:I lost my two front teeth within like two days of each other when I was four and they both grew in just fine, if it really worries you take him to the dentist but I'll bet it's just permanent teeth coming through and in effect knocking out the baby teeth
