Question

My daughter is 5 years old and her bottom front teeth are starting to grow behind her baby teeth, right now it's only barely showing

My daughter is 5 years old and her bottom front teeth are starting to grow behind her baby teeth, right now it's only barely showing.
Her teeth don't seem to be loose though...

Answer 1

My daughters bottom two front teeth did this. I freaked out and took her to the dentist. He said it was completely normal and should not affect how the permanent teeth come in. He also said that give the baby teeth about a month and if they don't wiggle or look like they are going to fall out anytime soon, to check back. They may have to be removed by the dentist at that point.

Answer 2

in Malay we called it RONGAK,

in english.... Estimates on the number of words in the English language range from 500,000 to over two million. (Obviously, figuring out the number of words in a language is more difficult than one might suspect.) At any rate, with all those words floating around you'd think that English has virtually every thing, action, or concept covered.

Fortunately, nothing could be further from the truth. Adam Jacot de Boinod has scoured several hundred language dictionaries looking for words which have no English equivalents, and he has collected them in his book The Meaning Of Tingo, a collection of distinctly non-English words and phrases. Here are some choice examples:

* gigi rongak -- the space between the teeth (Malaysian)
* bakku-shan-- a girl who looks pretty from the back but not the front (Japanese)
* backpfeifengesicht -- a face that cries out for a fist in it (German)
* kummerspeck (grief bacon) -- excess weight gained while overeating during emotional times (German)
* plimpplampplettere -- skimming stones across the water (Netherlands)

Answer 3

I call it an over-retained baby tooth. Don't be too concerned yet. Is the baby tooth loose at all? If it is encourage your child to "wriggle" the baby tooth and try and get it out. Leave it about another 4 weeks and if your child has still not managed to get the baby tooth out then make a dental appointment and have it looked at, they Will tell you if it needs to come out or if it can be left to fall out on its own.

Answer 4

I call it a mistake. It needs to be evaluated by your dentist. If the baby tooth is not practically ready to fall out, it may have to be removed to keep it from guiding the permanent tooth into the wrong position.

Answer 5

I call it 'don't worry'.If your child is before 7 years of age it is unnecessary to remove the primary teeth because the problem is self correcting,but if he or she is older than 7 the baby teeth should be removed.

Answer 6

All of my boys teeth came in that way. They ended up with beautiful teeth (with no extra help from the dentist)

Answer 7

I heard that its normal, but you should call or go to the dentist to make sure the child is ok.

Answer 8

Deliverance.

Answer 9

Take him to the dentist. One needs to be pulled.

Answer 10

Time to get a dentist appt.
