6 year old has skin over her molar?!


Question: Hi,

Looks lilke my 6 year old daughther is having a molar tooth coming out, and i can see a small flap of skin thats loose over the tooth. (Looks like its based in the back and lies loose over the front)

She says it doesnt hurt her, just sometimes when she bites ..

Is this normal?

Thanks...

Don't waste your time/money going to the dentist. This is perfectly normal and the "flap of skin" will eventually disappear as the tooth fully erupts. Your daughter is probably even playing with it with her tongue.

It Might Just Be The Skin Moving Out Of The Way Because It's A New Tooth,
iWould Take Her To The Denist Just To Be Sure.

You should take your daughter to see a dentist. If it hurts for her to chew sometimes. I think It may be best to have a dentist evaluate her as soon as possible.
