For parents who have had a child loose a tooth in a fall, it is quite nerve wrecking for the parent and traumatic for the child. But the fear soon subsides as children do naturally loose teeth as they grow older. In such cases, an emergency dental consultation should be done to have fixed space retainers placed which are spacers that replace the lost tooth preventing the other teeth from crowding into the gap as they grow. If left void, the space can have surrounding teeth collapse in and slant into the space misaligning teeth affecting the alignment of teeth as the permanent teeth grow into place.
