What if your infant has her skin growing between her 2 front teeth?

A dentist who examines the baby can say for certain, but it sounds as though you are describing a perfectly normal situation.
What you probably see is called a 'primate space'. This is a necessary space which allows for the normal development and eruption of the permanent incisors (front teeth) which are much larger than the baby teeth. If this space were not present, the permanent teeth would not have enough room to come in straight (about age 5-7). They would be crooked, possibly overlap one another and require orthodontic treatment later to correct.
Ask your dentist to take a look just to be sure.

When a red kangaroo's teeth are worn out what happens?
