If the adult tooth is behind the baby tooth and is not pushing it outward, the baby tooth will not fall out on its own. It is recommended to remove the loose baby tooth to avoid any issues. It is important to consult a dentist if you have difficulty removing the tooth or if the position of the adult tooth concerns you. Dental services for children are usually covered by provincial health insurance. It is also a good opportunity for the dentist to perform a thorough mouth examination.
