Usually, baby teeth are removed in children under 12 years of age, but there are also rare cases.

The removal of baby teeth from a 24-year-old girl is a striking example of this.

In the Moscow region, a patient was found to have baby teeth. TASS reports the details with reference to the press service of the Moscow region Ministry of Health and the head of the dental department Elena Tambova.

This incident occurred in a department of the Kashira hospital.

It is noted that the 24-year-old girl went to a Moscow region dental department with caries and loose teeth, as a result of which she was found to have baby teeth.

According to the press service, the baby teeth were preventing the permanent teeth from coming in. The girl knew about this situation, but did not go to a specialist because there was no pain or discomfort.

Tambova added that the baby teeth were removed under local anesthesia. This freed up space for new teeth to emerge.

She concluded that the girl would be monitored by a specialist.
