Dear doctors,
I would like to share this case with you and the importance of extracting temporary teeth when needed. Patient, 8y old, came to our clinic in april 2017. After seeing the X-ray, I suggested the exo of 85 as soon as possible. Patient made a couple of appointments after, but either cancelled them or did not show up. She came last month (april 2019) because 85 was very mobile and bothered her while eating. No anesthesia was required, just a little lidocaine spray. The tooth was extremely mobile. I sent her to do another X-ray. After 1week she took the X-ray. This is what it looked like. I sent her urgently to the dental hospital. Hopefully they can save 46,44,43 because they asked about the vitality of these three teeth, which was positive. L.E. i forgot to mention that in 2017, after seeing the xray, I explained to the patient the importance of FULL treatment.
