Depends on how old she is. Not if it's a baby tooth.

If it's a baby tooth (you don't say what your daughter's age is), then the root is eroded away as the permanent tooth comes up into place. So it will have a short stubby root if any at all. If you are worried about it, it is always better to have the dentist check it or check it at your daughter's next cleaning appointment. Good luck!

Hi, All teeth have roots. When baby teeth fall out, there appears to be no root because as the new permanent tooth is forming under the gum, the root of the baby tooth resorbs / dissolves away. When it has no root left and therefore nothing to hold it into the gum/jaw, it falls out.

When baby teeth are shed naturally the body absorbs the root of the tooth and the crown ( thats the part you see in the mouth ) just drops out.

baby teeth DO have roots but when a permanent tooth is under it trying to push it's way up, the root gets reabsorbed into the body, hence, when the tooth falls out you don't see a 'root'.

If you remove a root, a tooth will no longer grow there. So you don't want to see roots when teeth fall out.

Not if it's a primary tooth. If it was a secondary tooth, one would expect a root.

No. It should have a new tooth. Baby teeth don't have roots I don't think.
