What is a fallen baby tooth?

The journey of childhood is punctuated by numerous milestones, one of which is the falling out of baby teeth. This natural progression in a child's dental development, while exciting, can often be accompanied by uncertainty and apprehension for both parents and the young ones. At Dr. Mateo Quintana, nestled in the vibrant heart of Bogota, Colombia, this phase is transformed into a comprehensive, supportive, and educational experience.


A fallen baby tooth signifies a child's development where deciduous teeth (baby teeth) make way for the emergence of permanent adult teeth. This physiological process is a crucial aspect of oral development. However, it is also a phase that demands attention, education, and sometimes, intervention to ensure the proper alignment and health of the emerging adult teeth.
