Extra tooth behind top front tooth?!

[nananoo]

Hi all. DD2 is 15 months old, and at the last count had 12 teeth, some at the top being rather crooked. Tonight I noticed that in the roof of her mouth, behind one of her front teeth, there appeared to be another one coming through.

I tried to feel the white lump to see if it was an abscess, but it certainly felt like a tooth.

I'm aware extra teeth often appear from higher in the gum line in older children - but I've never encountered anything like this.

My ds1 (6) has an extra tooth it is a big front tooth (upper) next to the others but just at a slight angle. The dentist said it is not uncommon. It does look a bit odd but hopefully when he loses baby teeth it won't grow back!

I don't know if this is the same but when I was around 12 I had a tooth come in behind my front two tooth in the roof of my mouth! It was a proper incisor tooth. Was referred to the hospital and had it taken out. If you are worried I would just show it to the dentist
