I have a baby tooth that never came out. Now I have an adult tooth that is sort of coming out just in front the baby tooth. Do I need to get it pulled? If so, will it hurt? I haven’t been to the dentist because my parents do not have a lot of money. I just need to know what to do and what to expect. <\/p>\n

Dear Emma,<\/p>\n

\"happy<\/p>\n

I’m sorry you are faced figuring this out on your own. Yes, this baby tooth will have to come out. The good news is that baby teeth come out much more easily than adult teeth. If you don’t get it extracted, then the adult tooth is going to come in very crooked. If you go to a pediatric dentist<\/a>, they are used to doing things for young children and will likely have ways of making things easier. <\/p>\n

They should put a numbing medication on your gum before giving you the shot that numbs out the gums deeper into the tooth. Most people hardly notice. However, if your nervous, which you probably will be because you haven’t been to a dentist before, then ask them to give you some nitrous oxide. This is administered by a nose piece and it is a special medicine you just breathe in. It will relax you so that you won’t be tense during the numbing process. <\/p>\n

So, your parents know, there are affordable dentists<\/a> out there who are willing to work with patients in difficult financial situations. You may have your parents look some of them up and see if one of them is willing to work with you. <\/p>\n

You may find that you have more work that needs to be done with your teeth, but don’t stress about that. You can have that done a little at a time. <\/p>\n

I really appreciate your maturity and how you are proactive about taking care of your oral health. This type of responsible attitude will serve you well in many areas of your life.<\/p>\n
