Hi sir, Am 25 years old and I have some trouble with my teeth . There is a milky teeth in upper jaw of right corner and its not fallen and the left side of upper jaw milky teeth was fallen but its not erupted after 7 years. I have consulted with local medical college doctors about this and they said the adult teeth is growing with improper direction and needs to be removed since these tooth cannot be erupted. so i simply left their suggestion and awaiting for eruption of adult teeth. Please advise me on this.
Hi and welcome, After reading your history I would suggest you to get an OPG radiograph done which will show the picture of the milk teeth and the underlying erupting permanent teeth accordingly treatment can be planned. Over retained milk teeth will suppress the eruption of permanent teeth and hence they will not erupt to their final position in the mouth and tend to get impacted in the jaw bone or erupt in improper direction. You need to visit an oral surgeon who can help you out with extracting the milk teeth considering the position of permanent teeth. After this, orthodontic treatment can be applied to the reposition the permanent teeth to their actual position.I hope this helps, take care
