What else can I help you with?
Will a baby tooth come out if a new tooth is behind it?
This happened to me and one of the baby teeth eventually fell out. I had to have two others pulled out by the dentist.
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 are the negatives of keeping a baby tooth that doesn't have a permanent tooth coming in behind it when the person has braces on?
I used to have braces and faced the same problem. Instead of putting a bracket on that baby tooth, they justleave the wire that connects the brackets near the top of the tooth. After you lose the baby tooth and the new one growns in, a bracket will be glued on.
How can you lose 28 baby teeth when you only have 26?
its away a tooth behind another
Why did my daughter's baby teeth break in half after falling out?
It may be that the tooth was very fragile. Sometimes, when a tooth has a cavity, it breaks away the enamel, causing your tooth to become very sensitive.
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.
Will it be a problem if your daughter's baby tooth fell out when she is getting braces on tomorrow?
no it will grow back and once it does fully the orthodontist will put a bracket on taht tooth too.
Your daughter is 9 years old and her bottom left canine tooth is loose Is that her baby tooth?
IDK but my 10 year old has the same tooth loose and I'm wondering the same thing.
How do you lose a hard baby tooth?
chew something hard or put presure on it.
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.
How do you compare a baby tooth from an adult?
A baby tooth is smaller than a adult tooth.
What if your adult tooth is coming in behind your baby tooth and the baby tooth is not getting loose to pull?
This happened`with our six year old. Sometimes the adult teeth do not "attack" the root of the "baby" tooth and weaken it enough to make it fall out first. This is not an "emergency" but you should probably have the tooth looked at by a pediatric dentist. It is quite normal for the permanent tooth to appear slightly behind the baby tooth and slightly before the baby tooth is lost. If it is "wiggly", it probably won't make much difference whether the tooth is removed or allowed to come out on its own. The tongue does a good job of pushing the permanent tooth forward into position if there is adequate space. A lot depends on the amount of spacing among the baby teeth. Definitely ask your child's dentist about the "arch length" at your next visit. The biggest concern is that the new tooth will not have room to be properly placed. In situations like this, the baby tooth will have to be pulled. Sometimes the coexisting tooth will work out the baby tooth on its own. Some dentists will say to give it one to two months to see if the "baby" tooth works out on its own. One other thing though, ONLY in the lower front is it normal for the teeth to erupt behind. Anywhere else, if the permanent tooth hasn't come out, then the baby tooth may need some help. Basically, it is a judgment call for the dentist, and except in a few extreme cases, there is no "right" answer. To view a chart about teeth eruption, visit the Related Link.
