How long should deciduous teeth be extracted?

During tooth replacement, if the permanent teeth have erupted but the deciduous teeth have not fallen out, the deciduous teeth will be retained. The permanent teeth start to grow, and the baby's teeth don't fall out in time. The deciduous teeth retained in the permanent dentition row are deciduous teeth retention.

The loss of deciduous teeth is closely related to the growth of permanent teeth. This situation is more common in the mandibular incisors during the tooth change period, the permanent teeth grow on the lingual side, and the deciduous teeth stay on the lip side.

What does a retained baby tooth mean? Many parents don't understand that when the child reaches the age of tooth replacement, the permanent teeth have grown, but the deciduous teeth have not fallen out, that is to say, the deciduous teeth are retained.

How long does it take for a deciduous tooth to be extracted? The earlier the retention of deciduous teeth is treated, the better, as long as the extraction does not affect the growth of permanent teeth. The permanent teeth have erupted, and the remaining baby teeth should be extracted immediately. If the baby teeth in the upper jaw are not extracted as soon as possible, the permanent teeth will grow in. If this happens, it should be corrected as soon as the front teeth appear. When the primary teeth in the lower jaw are extracted, the permanent teeth in the back can be restored to their normal alignment. If the teeth are not aligned properly, correct it in due time. Root fractures can occur during the extraction of primary teeth. Since the residual root is close to the permanent tooth, no treatment is required, so the root can be absorbed by itself, or it can fall off with the eruption of the permanent tooth.
