Question:
My 8 year old daughter's tooth broke off leaving some of her tooth inside of her gums. What should I do? Yolanda in PA

Answer:
Yolanda, hopefully the tooth that broke is one that is ready to come out. If the tooth that broke was ready to come out, then there may not be a root there. If not, part of the root may still be remaining and your dentist will need to remove it. Not to worry, it will not pose any problem.
