Irritated gum05/09/2007 |
My child recently had his two front upper teeth extracted because his permantant teeth were growing out and his baby teeth weren`t coming out just yet. He also had some kind of infection on the same two teeth and ended up taking antibiotic for 7 days. He is now complaining of pain - that the bottom teeth are irritating his top gum tissue. Should I take him back to a dentist?
Yes, this issue can only be addressed through an examination by your dentist.
