Any dentists around? Child wobbly permanent tooth

DD1 lost her two bottom front teeth as normal save that she had ‘shark teeth’ for a while. Her new teeth come through ok at first, but as they’ve grown they’re looking discoloured and one of them is a little wobbly.

Anyone know why? And what do I do about it!?!

She brushes twice a day under supervision.

She’s going later in the month. But if it’s urgent I’ll need to pay for private.

Tell the receptionist it's an emergency, you shouldn't have to pay. I would consider this an emergency!

How wobbly are we talking? Teeth have some natural movement in them which can often feel 'wobbly' to a child

The discoloration looks like fluorosis to me, which is absolutely nothing to worry about.

BlueCornsihPixie · 28/10/2019 07:32

Has she knocked it either?

If she's not knocked it it's not an emergency

SalrycLuxx · 28/10/2019 07:33

It’s enough that I can see/feel it move a little. Could
It be that the teeth are too crowded?

What do I do about fluorosis?

No impacts so far as I know, and she doesn’t recall anything either

Crowding wouldn't normally cause a tooth to be wobbly

Take her to the dentist, she's probably going to need an x-ray to check nothing's going on with the root. It might just be normal movement so don't worry!

Ok. Thanks 😊
