<s>[INST] My son is 5 yrs old, he has silver caps on all his teeth well one fell out tonight while eating it looks almost like his tooth broke off its gross, there is barley anything there now. It also bled alittle, What will they do to fix this, will it require surgery thats what freaks me out. [/INST] Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns. As per your complaint if the crown has dislodged off and there is no tooth crown apparent in the mouth then it seems that the crown has dislodged due to breakage of the tooth due to secondary decay. If this is the case and the tooth is a milk tooth then the remaining tooth has to be removed, and a space retainer will be placed so that the space that is left empty after removal of the tooth is not occupied by Chat Doctor. . This is the best treatment for loss of milk tooth. You can also send me a picture of the broken tooth and the cap along with the picture of the area inside his mouth by asking me a direct question by clicking "Ask me a question" in my profile. I will evaluate it further and advise you more precisely how to proceed for the treatment. Hope this helps. Regards. </s>
