That's completely normal. Don't worry about it. The baby teeth fragments will fall out in their own time. It won't take long. Encourage her to brush them really well to protect the adult teeth as the split baby teeth will hold more plaque
see a dentist
See a different dentist....
the same thing is happening to my sister and our dentist told us that if her baby teeth dont fall out within 3 months i believe it was then they willl need to be pulled out..she will ultimetly need braces ...sorry for your daughter..im getting them soon and ive heard they are scary!!!!
she might need to get them removed because despite what some dentists say they probably won't fall out by themselves.
Are they wiggly at all?
If your unsatisfied with your dentist see another one! It seems like this guy wants to get rid of you!
DENTIST ALERT!
That happened to me once. I went to the dentist and got the baby teeth pulled out. If you don't do something, your teeth get so messed up. My friend's are.
you can go to a different dentist and ask them to do an x-ray or asked to go to a dental hospital (Eastman's London) and they can have a look. you can go to Eastman's in the week to see someone but i would call them first and ask to speak to one of the dentist on call. but the teeth may not come out and this can happen alot of the time.
