Extra teeth growing behind new adult teeth in 5 year old.

[Thingsthatgo]

Dd is nearly 6, and I noticed this evening she has 2 teeth growing behind her new lower front teeth. Has anyone has this before? What happens? Will the dentist remove them?

Similar happened to my cousin, they removed her milk teeth and she had to wear braces to push the new tooth to the front. you will probably need to see an orthodontist for that

Just the the two teeth blocking the new one, sorry posted too fast

My son has this . It's happened with his top two teeth and his bottom two teeth . Dentist has advised that he will need braces but they won't put them in till he's about 11 as he should of lost all his baby teeth by then

Thank you for your replies. So the teeth behind haven’t caused any real issues so far to the teeth in front? I was a bit worried it’d be a big awful dental issue, but if they can just sit there until she’s a teenager, then I’m very relieved! (I’ll obviously make sure we get to the dentist ASAP, to get them checked out. It’s just not easy getting an appointment at the moment!)

These are called "shark" teeth. My son had two come in behind his middle bottom teeth at the front. Interestingly they moved forward of their own accord once the milk teeth fell out.

Thank you. The milk teeth have fallen out, my dd has her adult teeth and another couple coming behind them.

@Thingsthatgo Are you saying she had three sets of teeth? The baby ones that have fallen out, the new adult teeth, and another set under that?

Yes, three sets.

@Thingsthatgo I'm not sure that's possible. But when babies are born they already have both sets in their jaws - the teeth move around a lot before coming out in the right space. Perhaps they just need to shift before coming through properly?

Uh! Those photos make me feel weird!
Yes, I mean, I could be completely wrong. But these teeth are directly behind the new adult teeth, so it looks like two lots of the same teeth. I guess they could be the next teeth along in the wrong place. I guess we will need an X-ray.

More likely these are normal adult teeth that are erupting in the wrong position.
At 6 there is a whole lot of growing to do in the jaw, and sometimes teeth can appear to come through VERY uneven.
As long as you are having regular checkups (I know difficult at the moment, but you'll never get into a dentist as this isn't an actual emergency/acute problem)
Keep brushing as normal and possibly down the line have an X-ray to determine the situation.
I'm a dental professional and it's a lot more common than you think.
Try not to worry!

Thank you so much for your reassurance, I must admit it made me panic a bit.

There are some people who grow extra adult teeth - google supernumery teeth. Ideally go see the dentist and ask them to investigate.May need an x ray as you say.

If they are extra adult teeth it’s best to get them removed before they interfere with jaw development and position of the “legit” adult teeth. But as a PP said they may just be standard adult teeth in the wrong place rather than extras.
