My 3 yr old daughter has rotten top teeth (only her front 4), the dentists here say to just leave the teeth they will eventually fall out. Now the problem is she s been getting white sores on the gums, that pop and then bleed and leave behind like a black mark. What is causing this and do I need to take her to a dentist?
Hello, Thanks for writing in. The front incisor baby teeth will fall only at an age of 6-7 years. The white sores associated with the decayed tooth may be the abscess developed. I would suggest you to go for a second opinion. An x-ray of the teeth will help to evaluate the extent of decay. The infected pulp has to be extirpated and the pus if present has to be Chat Doctor. Also make sure that your ch lids oral hygiene is well-maintained. Use fluoridated toothpaste to brush teeth. Rins mouth after every meal. Hope this helps.
