What should I do as an adult if I still have a baby tooth? Will it need to be removed at some point?

If the baby tooth is still there it means the adult tooth is underneath the bone, or there is no adult tooth. If there is no adult tooth, try to keep the baby tooth as long as possible. There is a possibility it will have to be removed at some point. Treat it gently, without too much pressure. Some people keep baby teeth into their 40s, but they are being very careful with the teeth Â
