FAQ: Internal Resorption

Internal Resorption Ask The Dentist Ron Briglia

Question:
Internal Resorption in baby teeth: I have a four year old daughter who recently had one of her front teeth pulled because it was suffering from resorption.

Within a month, I notice one of her bottom teeth doing the same thing. The X-Ray confirmed it but the doctor was not able to explain why it was happening.

He said that the bones were healthy and she is healthy overall. What would cause resorption in baby teeth without trauma in more than one tooth? How can we stop other teeth from being infected? ... Visitor from DE

Answer:
Since you do not remember any trauma to your daughter's teeth, which could be a cause for internal resorbtion, I would recommend a consultation with a childrens specialist.

I would want to rule out any systemic problems that could be a cause for your daughter's resorbtion. It could be that your daughter may have had some trauma to her teeth in the past that you may not be aware of.

The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, or the DuPont Clinic in Delaware may be good places to seek answers to your questions and concerns. If she were my daughter, I would take the extra step of a specialist consultation to rule out any systemic problems.

If it turns out that everything is normal and this resorbtion issue was an isolated event, all the better. I would also recommend dental x-rays of the rest of your daughter's teeth to see if any other teeth are showing signs of internal or external resorbtion.
