My sixteen year old daughter has a retained baby tooth.

Thursday, May. 20th 2010 11:33 AM

My daughter who is now sixteen has a retained baby tooth.  It the first molar behind her eye tooth.  With in the last two weeks she said that tooth was starting to hurt her a little.  I will be taking her back into the dentist to see if she has something wrong with it.   I am wondering could she get a cavity in that tooth when we just had X-rays two months ago for her normal visit and everything was fine then.

I am worried that if she does have a cavity can the dentist put a filling in a baby tooth?  She does not have a replacement adult tooth for the baby tooth and I would hate for her to lose it and be left with a gap.    What can be done?  Advise please
