Extraction of Ectopic Nasal/Erupting 21 in a 7-Year-Old — Post-op Care and 14-Day Risk Management

Severity:

Delayed tooth eruption
Ectopic Nasal

Short summary / likely scenario

  • A 7-year-old male with an ectopically erupting/extruded permanent tooth (FDI 21) that presented in or near the nasal cavity/vestibule and was extracted.

  • Photo shows the nostril/oral vestibule area with the extraction site and adjacent mucosa — looks like soft-tissue involvement of the nose/nasal floor region rather than a simple intraoral socket alone.

The Silent Smile: Understanding Delayed Tooth Eruption in the Philippines

As parents, we eagerly await our child’s milestones—their first step, their first word, and that gummy smile giving way to a first tiny tooth. But what happens when those teeth are late to arrive? While a slight variation is normal, significant delays can be a cause for concern, and in the Philippine context, this issue often points to a deeper, more systemic challenge.

10 Year-Old with Crooked Front Teeth: Understanding Early Tooth Misalignment and When to See the Dentist

Delayed tooth eruption

Quick summary (one-line)

This looks like a typical mixed-dentition alignment issue in a ~10-year-old: the upper front permanent incisors are crowded/rotated and erupting unevenly. It’s common and usually treatable, but a dental exam and X-rays are recommended to plan the right timing and treatment.

What I see (photo-based findings)

  • Mixed dentition: permanent upper incisors are present and some primary teeth remain (normal at this age).

  • Upper central/lateral incisors appear crowded and one incisor is rotated/overlapping its neighbor.
