My 3yr old has wobbly front tooth is it too early to lose her tooth?

Friday, September 11th, 2009
Q.
Hi Dr. Caplan, my daughter will be 3 in 2 weeks time and she already has a very wobbly front tooth.

My 4yr old daughter has infected gums and is extraction likely?

Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009
Q.
I have a 4yr old with capped teeth. Her teeth were capped after a heart procedure & a dose of antibiotics, approximately 2 yrs ago. After the antibiotics her top teeth went grey & the enamel appeared to be “ridged” or like it melted away. Anyway the dentist suggested capping, she’s now with a new dentist. My daughter just had a check up & apparently the dentist feels there’s an infection in her gums, caused by one of the caps & wants to extract it. She said my daughter’s mouth is reacting to the material in the caps & this can occasionally happen. I just wanted a 2nd opinion on whether the problem is common & if extracting is the only answer.

A.
Please seek a second opinion b… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
