If the tooth is about to be replaced, direct extraction and compression to stop bleeding will be sufficient; if the tooth cannot be replaced in the short term, the cause of the problem needs to be clarified and root canal treatment or anti-inflammatory treatment should be carried out.
If a tooth is loose and bleeding during the tooth replacement period, it is recommended to make a comprehensive assessment based on the patient’s age, tooth position and dental radiographs to see if it is about to be replaced in the near future. If the new permanent teeth are able to erupt within six months, it is recommended that the loose and bleeding baby teeth be extracted directly.
If the new permanent teeth do not erupt within six months, the cause of the loose and bleeding teeth needs to be evaluated. If the cause is chronic apical periodontitis, root canal treatment is required. If the cause is trauma, the loose tooth should be fixed if it can be retained, and if it cannot be retained, it should be extracted and kept in a gap.
Regular checkups are recommended for both permanent and baby teeth for early detection and treatment.
