Answer 3

What do you call a pre-molar? If it is the 6 year molar it is normal. If it is the 12 year molar, that puppy is a permanent tooth.

The main question is, why is your daughter not seeing a dentist and why are you asking here instead of at the dentist's office?

Answer 4

She probably has a primary (baby) molar loose. She shouldn't have her premolars yet; they are permanent teeth.

Also, for anyone who answered this incorrectly:
The six year molar is a permanent tooth!!!

Answer 5

Answer 6

Answer 8
