My sixteen year old daughter has a retained baby tooth.
My daughter who is now sixteen has a retained baby tooth. It the first molar behind her eye tooth. With in the last two weeks she said that tooth was starting to hurt her a little. I will be taking her back into the dentist to see if she has something wrong with it. I am wondering could she get a cavity in that tooth when we just had X-rays two months ago for her normal visit and everything was fine then.
I am worried that if she does have a cavity can the dentist put a filling in a baby tooth? She does not have a replacement adult tooth for the baby tooth and I would hate for her to lose it and be left with a gap. What can be done? Advise please
