Is it Better to Pull Loose Baby Teeth Out or Let Them Fall Out Naturally?
It is important to let nature take its course when your child’s baby teeth begin to fall out. They will start to lose them around age 6, but pulling them out can cause your child pain and possibly infection.
Key takeaways:
– Regular dentist check-ups will help make sure your child’s adult teeth are positioning correctly.
– Unless informed otherwise by a dentist, it is better to leave your child’s loose teeth alone.
– This is a time to encourage good dental habits such as brushing and flossing for healthy teeth and gums.
“Your child’s loose tooth will come out when it’s ready. If you do decide to pull the tooth, you could cause your child undue pain, excessive bleeding, or even risk an infection. Simply letting your child’s tooth come out naturally is all you need to do!”
