5 year old tooth growing in back of another?!
Question:
5 year old tooth growing in back of another?
I noticed last week my son's bottom front tooth doing something strange...the one to the right of the front two had an unusual space from the front two and one of the front ones was slightly protruding outward. I blew it off when I realized both the bottom front were loose and would probably come out shortly. Well in the last few days I realized there is another tooth coming out in back of the slightly protruding one. The earliest dentist appointment I could get is next weekend. Until then, is this normal?
Answers:
It's common..most of mine grew in faster then they'd come out as a child and my daughter has been the same way. One bottom front one did the same as your sons except hers weren't loose at all and they took them both out so that there would be plenty of room for both permanent ones to come in. We just went through the same thing 2 weeks ago with her front tops ones..
