A baby tooth is smaller than a adult tooth.

One dentist's website said it can be 6 months or more before the adult tooth comes in.
If you have a baby tooth and an adult tooth is growing in front of the baby tooth would you need to remove the baby tooth?
This is very common in children where the adult tooth comes out behind or in front of the baby tooth. Sometimes the baby tooth becomes loose as the adult tooth comes out more and extraction is not necessary. If the tooth is not becoming loose, then the tooth should be removed.

What is a baby tooth?
A baby tooth is a tooth which will be replaced when it has been lost by the child to whom it belongs, and replaced with a permanent, adult tooth.
What is the oldest person still having their baby's first teeth?
Could be over 100 years of age. Some people are born missing a single adult tooth. If that adult tooth is not present then the baby tooth root will not resorb thus causing a retained baby tooth. I see this often in my private practice when an adult premolar is missing and the baby molar tooth is then retained. Signed, DDS
Can you still have adult tooth under a baby tooth that has a crown?

What is the reason you still have a baby tooth as an adult?
You probably have either a congenitally missing or impacted permanent adult tooth.
Is the fourth tooth from the left to the right a baby tooth when you are eleven?
no but it certainly does look like a adult tooth
What about baby teeth that have no adult teeth?
Babies and young children don't have any adult teeth. Baby teeth fall out before permanent teeth emerge through the gum, or if baby teeth have not fallen out before, an emerging permanent tooth pushes the baby one out. In some cases, a permanent tooth can push up either in front of or behind a baby tooth and dental services are needed to remove the baby tooth and to straighten the adult tooth's alignment.
What if a child gets an abscessed tooth in a baby tooth Can it damage the adult tooth underneath?
No, The adult teeth forms separate from the child tooth. However if nutrition is not improved while the adult tooth is coming before the adult tooth comes in, there is a higher chance it will be weak and more prone to decay.
Is it rare to have a baby tooth as an adult?
not as much as you think. It actually happens quite often. when it does, you treat that tooth as a permanent tooth and fill cavities. You can even crown a baby tooth if there is no permanent tooth underneath it. If you have a permanent tooth under it, they usually extract the baby tooth.
