So back in september I took McKenzie (my 5yr old) to the dentist for her check up. After they took her X-rays they showed me that her front baby teeth's roots had almost completely dissolved! I was blown away because it wasn't wiggly at all. So now 3 months later Im helping her brush her teeth and to my surprise theres and adult tooth poking through her gums! Behind the baby tooth! I had never seen anything like this before! And immediatly thoughts of braces and what kinda damage this is going to cause start racing through my head!
I felt the baby tooth and it was kinda loose. Luckily I had a dentist appointment the next day and was able to ask him if this was normal and what to expect next. He told me to just get her to work on the wiggling it, That by now there should be no more roots and if she continues to wiggle it will eventually come out. Whew! I was just so used to seeing kids that had this huge gap after there teeth fell out, and my daughter will already have her adult tooth up by the time this baby falls out! LOL
My oldest had hers come in that way too. I was a little scared when I saw it like that. Her dentist reassured us that many kids have their front teeth come in that way.
