First tooth has come out, but not all of it!

[ReginaFelange]

DS1 (5) has lost his first tooth but it seems that there is a little bit left in his mouth. Will it just come out on its own?

It is not the new tooth as that was already growing up behind the old tooth.

Bump

dd just lost an upper oen last week and the gum looks a bit fo a mess , could it just be soft tissue ?

I can't say I really know Reg, but I would worry it could get infected and take her to the dentist anyway.

When's his next dental appointment?

This happened to me, there was a little piece left over, sat behind the new tooth. The new tooth was fully grown before the old bit became loose enough to pull out. I grabbed it with tweezers - I was older than 5, but younger than 10.

THanks for the replies, I had to go away for a bit. I was hoping that I was being overly worried but it doesn't look like it. Will call the dentist on Monday
