If my dentist pulls my tooth out for my braces,will my tooth grow back?

Question

My daughter has an old tooth that keeps hurting her.im wondering if the dentist will take her tooth out?if she does then will her tooth grow back ? My daughters age:11years old

Answer

It will only grow a new tooth if that hurting tooth is still a milk tooth. If it's an adult tooth it will not grow back. The dentist can tell you though.

Answer

Teeth don't grow back. They aren't bones. 

If it's a baby tooth, an adult tooth will grow in. But if it's an adult tooth, it won't. It's done.

Answer

If your daughter&rsquo;s tooth is a baby one, then it will grow back. But if it&rsquo;s an adult tooth, it won&rsquo;t grow back, I&rsquo;m sorry. Besides, the dentist won&rsquo;t pull out adult tooth until something severe and needs to be pulled out, your child may have a toothache. I&rsquo;ve had one before and they didn&rsquo;t have to pull my tooth out. Hope that helps!

Answer

Adult teeth won't grow back. 
If it's a baby tooth, eventually an adult (permanent) tooth will grow in its place.
