Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your daughter have symptoms of dead tooth which seems to be due to decreased blood supply which leads to dead tooth which occurs mainly due to fall or tooth injury. Need not to worry. You should visit nearby dentist/ pedodonist once and get complete examination done and get that tooth extracted and maintain space with space maintainer so as there will be space for eruption of permanent tooth and it will not cause any crowding. Maintain complete oral hygiene of child by brushing and flossing.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
