Baby tooth persistence at 24
Got to know that two canine tooth are baby tooth and one is getting decayed. I am 24 yrs old and want to know the treatment process and cost that is incurred after treatment.
If baby teeth or milk teeth (retained deciduous teeth) are decayed, or are trapping food, resulting in damage to adjacent teeth and gums, they have to be removed, as they are useless in adult mouth. Looking at the position of these teeth in your jaws, they can be removed under a simple anesthesia.
Next Steps
Cost varies from clinic to clinic, so consider consulting a dentist in person.
Health Tips
Get them removed as early as possible.
