Child age 7.5 lost first molar. it is flat with no roots, but did have a filling. is this normal? i'm concerned the roots broke off?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tooth: the first primary molar erupts at 14-18 months of age and falls out around 9-11 yrs of age, please have your dentist retake X-Rays to see if the roots are still in the bony cavity
