My seven year old has so far lost four teeth. The fifth (an important one - one of his top front two) has been very loose for about two months now, hanging on by a string I would say for all that time!
He won't let me near it but today I managed to have a little feel and realised the reason it is sticking out at its spooky angle is that it has now twisted round on itself.
I'm happy to leave nature to run its course but does anyone know whether a loose tooth being in for too long can cause a problem with the new tooth coming through?
I may visit or ring his dentist after Christmas but would be grateful for any experiences anyone can share as I don't know whether I have 'permission to panic' or not!
