DS has wobbly baby tooth, new one is behind it?

[managedmis]

I noticed this morning that DS has one new tooth poking through just behind his bottom front tooth. The baby tooth is wobbly and I reckon by Sunday it'll be out.

Is this normal? Will the tooth behind naturally move forward?

Yes, normal.

Yes it should be fine. Get him wobbling the baby tooth out so that it’s not collecting food and potentially causing harm to new adult tooth behind.

Yes it's really common. Known as shark teeth. The new tooth will move forward when the baby tooth comes out

Yes normal, shark tooth. My sons two bottom teeth did this and moved forward when they had the space. If it's very wobbly encourage it to come out with chewy bread (that's what dentist suggested to us) so the new tooth can move.

Ds teeth are just slightly out of alignment so I don't know if it's something that causes braces when kids become teenagers but our dentist certainly wasn't worried over it.

Ah great, thanks so much everyone 🦷

All my daughters front ones did that. I have a fetching photo where she has a gap one side and then the other tooth is sticking forwards through her lips...she looked like a witch!

It was very weird......
