Unfortunately, my 1yr old cousin had a tooth injury for one of the upper incisor and it have been removed with root by a dentist. [She was just teething with four incisors. 2 on upper & lower jaw respectively..]
I'm worried about it's re-growth in the future. I understand that this milk tooth removed can't grow back (will it grow by any chance as a new milk teeth?!!!)
But,
1. what about the adult tooth growth in future? how much time would it take to grow? and
2. How to protect this gap to avoid sealing up by other milk teeth? (I heard something called "spacers" which avoid sealing the gap by other growing milk teeth)
Please help..
Thank you.
