My seven-year-old daughter lost her two front over eight months ago and I am quite concerned that I can neither see nor feel signs of her permanent teeth coming in. Her dentist assured me that the x-rays show there are teeth there. Is there anything we can do to speed this process along? I am concerned that as other teeth fall out she will have difficulty eating.

There is NOTHING you can do to make these teeth come in. Nature will take it's course. You have to be patient.

There is nothing you can do to make her teeth come in. You will just have to be patient and let them come in on their own. I have a younger brother who is six years old. He just pulled out his front two teeth also! It has been atleast seven months and there are small signs that the teeth are coming in! Everybody's teeth are different so we are all just going to have to deal with that!

don't worry about it...it'll come in sooner or later...but if you're concern have the dentist take an x-ray to make sure everything is normal...I work in a dental office and have seen teeth stuck in there and not coming out for some reason...in a situation like that they usually connect a wirelike material to it and pull it down over a gradual period...sound weird but that's how they do it.

I think it's time to see another dentist and get a second opinion,. Teeth don't usually fall out until the permanent teeth are ready to come in. So this isn't normal.
Take her to a pediatric dentist.

You really can't rush mother nature. Look at as a good thing. The longer they stay up in the gum the less exposure they have to all the bad things that cause decay.

teeth come out when the adult teeth push or force them out.. so they will come in, nothing you can do to rush it. And she will be able to eat when she loses more.
I had to have 12 of my baby teeth pulled ( all at the same visit), my adult werent coming in, I was still able to eat.

Don't worry about it. Let it come in naturally.
