do I need to take DD to the dents?

She is just turned 7 and hasn't yet lost any baby teeth. Her front two bottom ones has been wobbly for ages now and you can see the new teeth coming through behind them rather than directly underneath them which I'm assuming is why the baby ones still haven't fallen out. Would that be correct? Do we just need to be patient or do I need to seek dental help to get the bottoms ones out?

TIA

Did the dentist not notice anything at the half yearly check up? If not, I would wait for the next check up.

My DD had her top tooth come through in front of her baby tooth and I was a bit worried. However, the baby tooth did get wobbly and finally came out all by itself (well with a lot of wobbling from DD)!! The other one was a lot easier and involved her recorder.......

thanks seeline. Perhaps I'll suggest DD practices her recorder some more Smile

I wouldn't advise it - she did it at school, and teachers and TAs still seem a bit traumatised by the amount of blood she produced Grin It was already quite wobbly - I was surprised it bled quite so much.
