Question

Alex broke his milk tooth and he is worried about it. Select the appropriate option that fits the situation.

• A. He goes to a dentist and fills that hole in the gum.
• B. Milk teeth, once broken does not regrow.
• C. Permanent teeth will grow after the milk teeth are broken.
• D. Teeth always regrow, once broken.

Answer 1

The correct option is C Permanent teeth will grow after the milk teeth are broken.

The human teeth that grow at first are called the milk teeth. Once a milk tooth falls out, a permanent tooth grows in its place. The permanent teeth are stronger than the milk teeth. If we lose a permanent tooth, no tooth grows out in its place until a dentist fills that hole in the gum.
