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.

If the baby tooth is just about to fall out, the situation will probably resolve itself naturally. If the baby tooth still seems to be firmly rooted, it is best to consult a dentist, because the baby tooth stop the adult tooth from coming through straight.

This means you need to get that baby tooth outta there! Wiggle it everyday and try to get it out. If you dont your baby tooth will start turning black. And you might even develope gum disease. Take it from someone who had this happen to them before. Good Luck!

I had this problem. You go to the dentist and he pulls it. Also, braces. No fun.

You can go to the dentist and get your baby tooth/root removed. I had to get eight of mine removed last year. It's a quick and painless procedure, from my own experience.

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.
