Permament teeth not growing in?!
Question:
Permament teeth not growing in?
My daughter will be 9 in July. She lost two bottom teeth about 2 months ago. They are on either side of her bottom middle four. Only a little bit of tooth is peeking through her gums. Im concerned that this may be a problem. Unfortunately her dentist appt. had to be canceled. so I have to wait again before I can get her into the dentist. Please help.
Thank you for your help.

Not to worry.
Those teeth will erupt, it may take more months.
If I understand well, those teeth are canines (cuspids). It is very rare that these teeth are missing. But since you see a little bit peeking through the gums, for sure they will come out.
If you want, to make sure, you can take x-rays at the dentist, and he will see them.
