Will accidentaly pulled milk tooth be replaced by permanent teeth?

2 days ago there was a terrible accident in my home, my 6 year old son pulled on clothing material that my 4 year old daughter was biting into while they were playing and the clothing came off with one of her upper front teeth. Will the removed teeth be replaced in about 2 years when she grows permanent teeth, what do I need to do to ensure she regains her perfect dentition?

Yes her tooth will some through again when it is time, but just to make sure you should go to the dentist if the tooth is not due for quite some time and they may put a spacer in that spot to make sure there will be enough room for the new one. chances are though they will just leave well enough alone.





What he's trying to say is a spacer.
Reply:usually permanent teeth start at age 8. if a tooth falls, the 2 pillar teeth (the teeth next to the fallen tooth) will come closer to each other and fill the spot not allowing the permanent tooth to make the eruption efficiently...at that age dentists install a device thaty will keep the 2 pillar teeth seperate. its like braces but for 2 teeth.!
