Canines not falling
Sir,as u can see I'm 18 and by now I should have lost all my milk teeth...But one canine is still left and is not falling...What could b the reason for this and what should I do?Will it fall off eventually even if no permanent tooth is present above it?
Please confirm with your dentist, if it's still your milk tooth canine and not permanent tooth. If you dont have any tooth above it, you may want to preserve this before any substantial treatment plan has not been formulated
Next Steps
Please see a dentist, may need xray to confirm if the tooth is really a milk tooth. If it is option 1: to keep it ( if good prognosis) ; option 2 to get orthodontic help if planning extraction.
