Milk Teeth?

Question

My daughters 1st front tooth has fallen out. I can see the other tooth coming through but it looks as if its too far back! Is this normal???

Answer 1

This is very common with the lower front teeth. The adult tooth is so much wider than the baby one, that sometimes it is crowded in towards the tongue. This usually corrects itself as more space becomes available.

Answer 2

It's perfectly normal - when the permanent teeth come through it always looks strange. The tongue and cheeks will push the teeth into position as more deciduous teeth fall out and more permanent teeth come through. Your child's face still has to grow more too so everything should move into position in time.
Your dentist will keep his eye on the positions of the teeth and when she is older if she needs orthodontic treatment, this will be done when more adult teeth are through.
The teeth will look larger and yellower too, with bumps on the edge - this is normal.
Take your daughter to the dentist every six months to keep things under observation.

Answer 3

Yes thats normal, it looks a bit funny to start off with, as its the biggest tooth in your childs mouth, but its alright and perfectly normal, so dont worry. Weve all been there!!!

Yes don't worry, they will move forwards, mainly through the pressure of the tongue. I they don't straighten out completely ask advise from your orthodontist
