Q.
My 14 months old baby/child managed to fall flat on her face and not crack but lose completely one of her front teeth. I am concerned that she will now not have any tooth there until her permanent teeth come through, which is years and years away. Should I go to the dentist to have her checked over or is she too young for this?

This should not be a problem. Sometimes the eruption sequence of the permanent teeth may be affected. You may want to consult a Pediatric dentist just to make sure there are no problems. Most likely, she will be without a front tooth until the permanent tooth comes in.
