This Week's Question HI! My son is 9 yrs old and i noticed he has tooth growing at the side of his gum below his baby tooth (1st molar) at the lower.The baby tooth is not loose yet. Is it better to wait till it became loose or is it better to extract now? Also how much does it cost to extract baby tooth? Is the price different with the pemanent tooth? Thanks and more power.
