My niece is 8 and my sister was recently told by a friend who is a dentist that two of her teeth should be taken out to make room for a big one as otherwise the big tooth would come through her palate. I think 8 is too young, I had teeth out but was 12/13.
I happened to take my daughter age 6 to the dentist this week, she has quite big teeth and some overcrowding, I asked the dentist about teeth extraction and he said to wait until all the big teeth are through before you start treatment as otherwise she'll be having continuous treatment. I also can't help but think that if my niece goes through the pain of having teeth out, they'll never get her back in the chair again!
Has anyone had advice like this from their dentist or children who've had teeth out? Thanks
