Hi, my 12 year old son has a baby molar hanging by what looks like a root, it bled quite heavily after he'd eaten on it and it became very loose. He's quite distressed by it as it's hanging and no amount of gentle twisting will get it to come lose. Do you have any advice?
I understand your concern about your son tooth ,see what happend is in some children it primary tooth roots are retained so it is known as Over retained tooth, there is nothing to worry for this you can consult dentist so for removal of retained root of primary tooth.
Hope this will help you.
Wishing your son good health.
