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.

Your six year old daughters left front tooth is loose but now the adult tooth is growing in behind it what has to be done in this situation?
SIX YEARS IS THE RIGHT TIME FOR YOUR CHILDS permanent incisor to erupt. To allow this eruption remove the loose front tooth yourself. The child can be convinced it is going to be painless and even she can do it herself.
Baby teeth fallen out its been months and no adult tooth is growing in its place?
One dentist's website said it can be 6 months or more before the adult tooth comes in.
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.
When a child loses his or her front tooth should you see the adult tooth right away?
No. It will take a little bit.
Can an adult ever lost a tooth and then another tooth grows back in its place?
Depending on why you lost your tooth, if you never lost all of your baby teeth (just because you have teeth under your baby onesdoesn't mean your going to lose them (two of my teeth were growing in a way they wouldn't push my baby teeth out and at 17 I got them pulled and within a month they were fully grown in)) and your tooth eventually falls out because of the pressure from the tooth growing under it, or if by chance the tooth that you "accidentally lost" is a baby tooth, AND there is a tooth under it then yes. Other wise no. Go to a dentist. You actually born with tooth buds inside your gums, your milk tooth buds are almost completed forming but the adult teeth have only started. The reason your milk teeth fall out is because the adult tooth bud has finished growing and crushes the root of the milk tooth. Some people are born without adult tooth buds. Count yourself lucky :/
What does it mean if you dream your front tooth falls out?
Fear of growing old, or a bad relationship
What do you do in the case of an adult tooth growing in behind the baby tooth before it has fallen out?
Most of the time the baby tooth will fall out eventually. If it doesn't seem to be getting loose, it should be removed by a dentist so it doesn't cause adult teeth to be crowded or crooked.
Does an adult tooth always grow in place of baby tooth?
yes but a adult tooth cant grow in place of an adult tooth
Why you think you have lost all your front teeth but the third tooth on your right its loose and you dont know if its an adult tooth?
Check with your local dentist.
How do you compare a baby tooth from an adult?
A baby tooth is smaller than a adult tooth.
Why does your child have a tooth growing in a tooth?
Cause it is growing wrong , There you go parent
My son just lost his front baby tooth and now there is a pointed sliver of a tooth where his permanent tooth should be. Is this his adult tooth or just an extra piece of tooth that pushed through?
More that likely it was a small left over peice or fragment if you will left from the tooth.
