My 10 year old just lost her upper side tooth about 7 days ago. . The gum where tooth use to be is very swollen and red also bleeds from time to time , but no pain .should I be concerned ?
My daughters 6 month check up with the dentist was on march 4th. I called the doctor he said it could be adult tooth trying to brake through the gums , to have her gargle with warm water and salt . If no results within a few days. I'll take her in . Thank you all for your response !
When is the last time this. Hold was checked by the dentist?
Call your dentist and get it checked. I used a pediatric dentist until my daughter was 16 but a lot of 10 yr olds are perfectly ok for a regular dentist as well.
I hope your child sees a dentist every 6 months. If not, start now.
We have no idea what to tell you and can't diagnose the problem.
I'd have her swish her mouth with warm water/salt . It could be irritated from the tooth, infected, etc. I'd also call her dentist and ask them if this warrants a trip to see them.
I would be. I don't think it should be bleeding still after 7 days ago. Swollen to me means it could be irritated or infection. Is it painful? Any time my kids complain of tooth pain, we take them in.
Thank’s for your question L..

A 10 year old can go to a regular dentist. Although a pediatric dentist focuses on baby teeth and continues care until the baby teeth are gone at some point kids they will see their regular patients until they're just too old. \
I'd take him in. If he hasn't been in the last 6 months for a good cleaning and stuff then he's due.
