What happens when a baby molar cracks in half?
My daughter’s baby molar shattered in the back. It caused an infection down to the root. It was extracted to allow the adult molar to come in after it. A spacer had to be put in to hold the position for the new molar which could take a few years to grow in. Prior to the extraction she had to go on antibiotics to clear up the infection, otherwise, the anesthesia wouldn’t work.
