After a baby tooth falls out, is there anything you need to do to the gums until the new tooth comes in?

Not a thing: Continue your normal routine - brushing and flossing.

Keep gums clean.: Keep brushing and flossing the rest of the mouth; you can clean the area gently with a washcloth and water until it heals.

Keep it clean: The area should be kept clean until the adult tooth erupts.

Clean: Keep it clean, the bacteria that cause cavities can live on gum tissue.
