A member asked:
Will a baby teeth for a 21 year old would still grow into permanent teeth if pulled out or do i need to take implants or something now? my baby tooth in the middle is loose already and planning to have both removed. thank you.

Odd predicament: Any and all baby teeth should be shed by the teen years at the latest if not before. An x-ray could identify any adult tooth within the upper/lower jaw if one was there to emerge after removal. Any plans you have for removal/replacement would best be made with the dentist doing the work.
