My 10 year old daughter has been told two of her front teeth are missing?

Her incisors have come through beside her two front teeth - anyone experienced this? Am worried she will always have a problem with how they will look?

I am guessing you mean her "adult" teeth are missing? If so, don't worry about it. My son is missing 5 of his adult teeth. The baby teeth just don't fall out. Son is 17 now and after braces and the whole works, his teeth look fine and he still has his baby teeth where the adult teeth were missing. Hubby still has a baby tooth and he is 52 years old.
Reply:Okay....I'm wondering why I couldn't keep my baby tooth where I was missing an adult one!!! Probably because the adult tooth next to it came in the wrong space and pushed it out (painful process with braces to move)





Anyways....like they said, leave the baby teeth if nothing comes through to push them out - and if one of the other teeth come in wrong and push them out...there's always a "false tooth" that can be worn on a retainer or implanted.
Reply:my son was premature and had a lot of 2nd teeth that where not going to form although not the 2 front one's in yr 4 he had to have all his baby teeth taken out where there where no 2nd ones going to come through and about 6 months later started with braces to move all the second teeth into positions where they could bite etc very successful has a lovely set of teeth orthodontist says if he looks after them he will have no problems in the future he plays rugby and we have had a made to measure mouth guard made for him cost about 100.00 but so comfy he comes home from training with it still in, hope this helps make sure you talk to your dentist and get a refferal asap it takes a long time on NHS but my son has had approx £20,000 worth of treatment.Your child also has to be very patient and comitted to cleaning properley etc
Reply:The dentist can check that the 2 adult teeth exist through x-ray. They can take a long time to come through sometimes, but if they dont exist at all than its best to get some advice from your dentist to see what options she has.
Reply:has she had an xray to confirm this? a qualified radiographer at the practice, can take an xray which will show all her teeth, even the ones that havent come through yet. From this they will be able to tell if they will come through abit later.


Did you mean her canines (like fangs) have come through at the side of her front teeth?


If so, This is not uncommon for what we call the lateral incisors to be missing,(the two slightly smaller teeth either side of her very front ones) and for the canines to take their position. (Also common for the second premolars to be missing, they fifth tooth along in each direction, so shes not alone)


when she is abit older these teeth, can be made to look as they are suppose to be adding white filling material to the tooths surface
Reply:I have the two teeth next to my front teeth missing. I have braces at the moment but when they come off, I am having the two missing teeth implanted.
Reply:My son and daughter both do not have their lower canines and the orthodontist just straightened their teeth without them and when they smile you cannot tell these are missing.
