baby tooth issue

Sorry I can't type in chinese.

My son, who just turned 18 years old, has one baby tooth never fell. The problem is there is no adult tooth below the baby tooth. Family dentist recommends to extract the baby tooth (it is true that the baby tooth is a bit sinking), then implant.

I hesitate to go with the extract and implant path, I am thinking wait as long as if the baby tooth still stays and not to extract because I heard some many friends have issues after extract. Any suggestions on this situation?

• 我們的牙醫強烈建議男孩植牙最好20歲後，女孩18歲後；你們可以再觀察一陣子。 -八妹子- ♀ (0 bytes) () 11/02/2024 postreply 15:26:20

• 我有兩顆乳牙到現在都沒掉，隻剩壓根了。兩顆恒牙斜埋在壓床裏麵就沒長出來。我都50多歲了。 -麻辣涼皮- ♀ (0 bytes) () 10/31/2024 postreply 20:37:01
