Hello,
my son is 8 years old and has always had problems with his teeth. Now a permanent tooth that is growing between a permanent and a primary tooth has started to become loose and hurts him. What can we do, or should we simply leave it alone?
Thank you for your answer.

Dear Sir/Madam!

Based on what you have written, it is difficult to say what is actually happening. During the mixed-dentition phase, when the roots of primary teeth have already resorbed or shortened and the roots of permanent teeth are not yet fully developed, the teeth can be mobile. The symptoms may be intensified by inflammation of the periodontal tissues, which can also result from a non-physiological position of individual teeth and the consequent accumulation of food... For an exact diagnosis and prognosis, I would need to examine the condition.

Have a nice day!
