I've had this baby tooth for a very long time (I'm 22), it's actually just gotten pretty loose in the past couple of months. So basically I have my adult tooth which grew in at an angle pushing against the baby tooth. Even the side of the baby tooth has worn away to fit against the adult one.
My question was, is it possible for the dentist to numb the gum, pull the baby tooth out and somehow pull the adult tooth into place where the baby tooth was? I thought it shouldn't be too difficult considering that the adult and baby tooth are pretty close together since they're touching. Is there a way to do it, any idea how much it could cost? I don't have insurance so I'll have to make payments. Those are the only two teeth that are messed up.

lots of people have this problem. my sister did. you'll likely need braces to get the tooth in the position that it should be in and to make enough space for it.
an oral surgeon will need to remove the baby tooth and they would then attach a gold chain to the braces and will gradually pull down the adult tooth. it takes anywhere from 6 months to a year for the permanent tooth to come in.

The dentist can pull the baby tooth , but you'll need braces or a retainer to straighten the adult tooth.

Like another person said, they can pull the baby tooth, but you will need an orthodontist to pull the adult one down into place.

Yes, the dentist can extract the baby tooth, but to move the other tooth back you will need some braces....

truthfully pull the child tooth on condition that there is an grownup tooth there. If the grownup tooth is merely too massive for the gap the place the child tooth is then you definitely will want some style of orthodontic paintings. in common terms the dentist can inform you lots this is going to value. shifting tooth to make room for one tooth will probable make different tooth shift and then your complete chew would be off. subsequently you are able to desire to place braces on each and every of the tooth.
