Hi,

Next Steps
If the Dentist has fixed then it might stay for a little longer time. If the teeth falls , it will not grow now.
All the teeth are milk teeth, these will fall and new permanent teeth will come after 6 years.
If baby swallows the teeth, no problem but if child coughs and then goes to the lung, then it is dangerous.
Health Tips
Consult your dentist to know how long the material used for fixing will last.
