My 6 year old just lost her fourth tooth (front top) and there is a piece of soft tissue looking substance left behind where there should be an empty space. It isn t hanging, but looks more like a piece of food stuck there. I had her rinse several times, first with warm water & then with warm water & a little salt. Is there something else I should do?
Hi, Thanks for asking. Due to improper resorption of teeth there might be a small remnant of tooth structure. It's not much of concern. You can visit a dentist nearby who will extract the remaining part of the tooth.
