My LO had a fall and her front tooth got pushed back slightly into her gums.. Anyone has similar experience and can advice if the her dental growth will be affected. ?

This should help you: http://www.deardoctor.com/articles/guide-to-dental-injuries/page3.php The article basically says your child will need treatment within 6 hours for a painful injury that involves the tooth being moved from its position. So please get in touch with a dentist soon as you can.

How old is your LO? I won't be too worried as it's still milk tooth. It will eventually drop when they turn 6-7yo.

yes abit. i brought to dentist.. thankfully no need to extract.

Doubt it will affect. if you are concerned better to take to the dentist and check. I won't worry much about it.

Ive brought to the dentist. he says it may take the adult tooth longer to come in. since the baby tooth suffered trauma.. up to a year.

oh dear. I hope that doesn't happen. on a brighter side, the adult tooth will grow! that's a relief.
