PARTIAL TOOTH DISLODGEMENT IN KIDS
Children experience partially dislodged milk teeth as their permanent teeth develop. They may also experience dislodgement with newly developed permanent teeth due to oral injury. Having milk teeth monitored and assessed by a dentist helps children to receive dental care for healthy teeth development. Seeking immediate emergency dental care for children with oral injuries will restore tooth structure for healthy oral function.
Children should attend dental appointments as their milk teeth fall out and are replaced by permanent teeth. Doing so helps dentists to address any early signs of abnormal dental structure for treatment.

TYPES OF PARTIAL TOOTH DISLODGEMENT
There are two main ways in which teeth can become partially dislodged, including:
- Tooth loosens from the jaw bone
- Tooth forced into the gum tissue
Both conditions are painful and can require different dental treatments in order to alleviate discomfort and restore the damaged tooth. In some cases, emergency dentists are able to treat both conditions with similar dental procedures. Leaving the problem untreated is detrimental to oral and overall health.
COMPLICATIONS OF A PARTIAL DISLODGED TOOTH
Partial tooth dislodgement ranges from mild to severe. It can include extensive damage to the tooth blood vessels and nerves located within the inner tooth pulp. Infection may set in requiring root canal treatment to restore the tooth root and eliminate infection.
However, the tooth root may need to be replaced by artificial dental implants before a tooth restoration is fitted to replace the missing tooth. Root canal treatment may be used to remove infection from dental pulp before the tooth is restored.
If left untreated an abscess can develop within or around the tooth socket. This can lead to infection spreading to other tooth root canals causing pain and tooth loss. Other health conditions such as heart disease and poor immunity may also result.
