Can wobbly teeth hurt or feel uncomfortable? Disabled DC

[kookit]

My DD is almost 6 and severely disabled. Its starting to look like her two front teeth are getting wobbly, and they're starting to stick out, but she's got significant learning delays so can't tell us if it hurts etc - the only clue we have is that her fingers are in her mouth a lot more than normal, excess drool and she's seemed a bit subdued since we noticed.

For those with DC who can verbalise what it felt like, did they say anything?

She's my first child so never had to deal with wobbly teeth before! Is there anything I can do to make her a bit more comfortable? She won't understand what's happening, but I guess for her, her teeth have been in the same place for 5 years and now must feel very odd! Thank you for any advice.

My nearly six and a half year old has lost a couple of teeth, one just last week. Yes they can be quite uncomfortable particularly when they are getting very loose but not quite enough to fall, biting into food for eg can be quite uncomfortable. But from what she said, it's not painful, as in crying painful or anything just uncomfortable, maybe a bit sore

DS will sometimes complain his wobbly teeth hurt, especially if he forgets and uses them to bite food. For him, it didn't seem bad enough to need anything, but if it does seem to be bothering her, I'd go with the same kind of thing as with toddler teething, either calpol or rubbing on some anbesol.

Also not sure if there is anything you can do, she's also my first so new for me. I'm afraid I could only advise her to be careful when biting

My ds has autism but can speak. He found it uncomfortable and distracting. His dentist actually pulled a couple out that were bothering him.

My kids had to sometimes adjust how they ate. Eg eating with the side of the mouth with no wobbly tooth.

I can vividly remember having wobbly teeth and it was awful. Especially as they got more loose.

Not so much painful as uncomfortable and for me it felt very scary.

Id give her calpol, they could be actively hurting. Some dental advice could be helpful,, it might be better for her to have them taken out rather than go throuugh extended discomfort Poor wee thing hope she feels better quickly.

One of mine had very low tolerance of anything remotely different in her body.

By heck did I know about it when she had a wobbly tooth. Mind you, she regularly screamed blue murder that she was being hurt from the pressure of my eyes looking at any offending part of her body or from nail clippers/files/plasters that were still six inches away from her person, so I'm not entirely convinced it was actually the sheer agony she claimed it to be. Paracetamol and a strawberries & ice cream chaser seemed to do the trick, though.

So yes, your DD could be in a reasonable amount of discomfort, especially as she's unable to understand or communicate it to you - would giving paracetamol/Calpol be an option for you?

My kids say that the teeth themselves don't hurt, they just feel a bit weird, unless they are poking and pulling at them, and then that can really hurt. If she's got her hands in her mouth because they feel weird and is then inadvertently poking at her loose teeth she might be making them more sore.
Paracetamol maybe if she is looking uncomfortable. My kids all liked biting things when their teeth were loose, like a cold wet flannel and having ice cream or for my son- frozen peas and green beans, would she be able to have anything like that?
