Child's baby teeth keep coming out with root

[Needmotivationnnnn]

Picture pending

DS9 has had multiple baby teeth come out with large roots. I've never seen it before in my life and Google is very unhelpful 😅

Dentist isn't concerned at all and I don't know why? Surely this isn't normal? Some of his adult teeth have needed composite bonding on them as they've come through yellow, despite his teeth being very healthy. Dentist still doesn't seem concerned?

He's recently been diagnosed with dyspraxia and hypermobile, I've got a GP appointment booked for him too as I think he has elhos danlos as he has many of the symptons ( as do I tbh )

AIBU to think that his teeth are somehow linked to everything he has going on?

They look cool! Everyone's teeth are different and if dentist isn't concerned then nothing to worry about. He just has big teeth?! They look healthy.

Does tooth fairy pay extra for bigger ones? 😂 X

The first two pictures are not of roots. If the dentist isn't worried why are you.

Wait this is normal isn’t it? Well at least it was for me!

I've never seen anything like it, it scares me everytime he gets one 😅. I just feel like there's somthing wrong.

He's autistic and very literal so unfortunetly doesn't believe in the the tooth fairy 😭 but he does get a toy/treat of his choice

Yes but they should be a lot smaller, our baby teeth reabsorb and it's just very very odd that a lot of his havnt,

I'm worried because it feels like there's an underlying problem. He's 9 and needed composite bonding because some of his adult teeth have come through yellow and some soft, ..... it's got to be linked

They’re meant to come out with the root or how else could the big teeth grow through. Don’t worry. That all looks normal to me

My kittens baby teeth had "roots"on. They were precious.
The entire tooth has to come out....everything, because there is a whole new one underneath so its perfevtly normal. I just had a look at the baby teeth I kept. They are the same.

I have never seen it before in my life it's crazy. When I've sent these pictures to my friends and family they havnt seen anything like it either 😅

Do you have any DC and if so did any of their teeth come out like this?

Hmm that’s how I remember my teeth coming out. My dc are little so not losing teeth yet. Honestly looks normal to me x

My daughters baby teeth were so tiny compared to my sons 😅 I wish I'd kept them to compare

That's normal OP.

All mine came out like this 🤷‍♀️

What did you expect them to look like? They're perfectly healthy baby teeth. Honestly please don't worry as you'll pass on the anxiety to him x

I’m a paediatric dentist. I do think this could be slightly unusual. I’d want to know the answer to these questions first - Were the baby teeth wobbly first before they fell out? Does he have a tendency to wobble his own teeth, or encourage them to come out? Do you have a family history or missing adult teeth? Have the adult successors come through?

*Edited - I’ve just had a look at the third picture of the primary molar. Was this tooth extracted by the dentist, or it exfoliated looking just like this? With blood on?

I thought of Ehlers Danlos just by reading your title, so I'm not surprised to see you mention it. Teeth/gums can be affected, even just mildly

There is a type of EDS (Periodontal) that can seriously affect teeth, it's something to be aware of but I wouldn't be worrying about it unless you start seeing other signs. As far as I know, there is a genetic test for that type, so you could see if your GP could refer for it even just to put your mind at rest

If your dentist, who spent six years training isn’t concerned, take his word for it unless you also have extensive dental training, I’m fairly sure they know more than you and google!

Very healthy teeth! Completely normal and much healthier than if they broke off

Why assume the dentist is a man?
Other than that I agree with you

@Needmotivationnnnn I don't think a root is that unusual but I am not a dentist. DS has strong teeth (31 now) but they were a bit yellowy; dd's were also yellowy and her first molars came through soft and lackjng enamel and decayed (all 4) and that was due to me having IV AB's for an acute chest infection when I was 19 weeks pregnant. The next molars were fine.

Their teeth are perfect now - it cost a few bob.

Taking into account what Lemony Plums has said, perhaps seek a second opinion or request a referral to a dental hospital paediatric section

Good luck.

Yup, those all look perfectly normal. I have no idea about the bonding thing - but I would imagine there are any number of reasons for that from nutrition to genetics.

It could well be linked to the periodontal ligaments (?). My now adult boys had similar and are both adhd or AuDhd and hyper mobile. They also struggle with pain chewing occasionally and have very clicky jaws but the dentist isn’t bothered at all.

It's rare but a condition called HPP can affect teeth and coming out complete with roots is a symptom. It's probably not going to be that but worth mentioning.

I've always very positive about his teeth infront of him ( I'm a very anxious person internally but externally you'd never be able to tell, everyone thinks I'm very positive 😅 )

I thought they'd look like my daughters and my friends children's teeth 😅 I've got a few group chats and not a single one of my friends have ever seen teeth come out like my DS's

They were wobbly before they came out and I do see him messing with them with his tongue but I've never seen him actively trying to take them out himself

No, we have strong healthy teeth in our family which is probably why DS's teeth alarm me so much.

His adult teeth are coming through but some have been yellow and slightly soft... dentist wasn't alarmed by that at all and only put composite bonding on them after 3 visits and me asking if somthing could be done as he was being teased mercilessly about his teeth

No his tooth came out by itself, this particular one had been causing him some pain. The others had not. The tooth with blood on came out the day before I started this thread

I've only recently come across elhos danlos ( DS only recently been diagnosed as hypermobile ) he has a lot of the symptons ( markers? ) of EDS ( but from what I've read there is several types? )

He does have issues with his teeth, is hypermobile and very flexible and has very very soft skin that scars very easily and has frequent leg / joint pain.

I have a GP appointment booked for him as I really do feel like it's all connected,
