My kids' adult teeth are growing behind their baby teeth! Do we need to come in?
"Ectopic or lingually erupting incisors (adult teeth growing behind the baby teeth) is a very common occurrence in children and will occur in 10-25% of the population. Most of the time the primary teeth will eventually come out and the permanent teeth will be pushed forward by natural tongue and mouth movement. In some instances, the primary teeth will need to be extracted. We usually wait a few months to see if there is any progress in mobility and natural exfoliation process. " - Dr. Gindi
