A. It sounds like your daughter may be experiencing what is known as a "shark teeth" situation, where permanent teeth start emerging behind the baby teeth (usually the front teeth). This is a common occurrence and generally not a problem, but there are a few things to keep in mind: Natural Process: The permanent teeth typically begin to push out the baby teeth, causing the baby teeth to loosen and eventually fall out. This process can take some time. Possible Crowding: If the permanent tooth doesn't push out the baby tooth on its own or the baby tooth doesn't fall out, it could cause overcrowding or misalignment of teeth. In such cases, the baby tooth may need to be gently removed by a dentist. Consult a Pediatric Dentist: If you're concerned about the position of the tooth or if the baby tooth is not loosening, it's a good idea to consult a pediatric dentist. The dentist can assess if any intervention is needed to avoid misalignment or discomfort. Oral Hygiene: Encourage good oral hygiene to prevent any issues like cavities or gum infections. Brushing twice a day and using fluoride toothpaste can help. In most cases, the teeth will adjust naturally, but it’s always best to have your child evaluated by a dentist to ensure everything is progressing as it should.
