DD1 hasn't lost any teeth yet, but on saturday she said she could feel something strange so I looked into her mouth. She has her 2 bottom front teeth growing behind her milk teeth. Is this normal? Will her milk teeth just get pushed out?

I think so - ds lost his first tooth at about 6 yrs old - my brother had several new teeth growing behind milk teeth

my dd is 5 1/2 and her 2 bottom teeth r wobbly last night i notiched that her adult tooth is coming throw behind her baby teeth, so im assuming the wobbly ones will just get pushed out soon enough

yes its fine. Ds1 had 2 front teeth for ages- the adult tooth was all the way through and had been around for ages before the baby one fell out.

DS also had his new teeth growing behind his milk teeth. His teeth were wobbly for months. It just so happened he had a routine check at the dentist. He asked if DS would like him to take them out or leave them to fall out. Brave DS opted for the dentist to do his job, which included a needle. DS was fine with it though.

My DD has this too. Her bottom 4 adult teeth came through before the milk teeth had gone. They seemed to be a long way back, looked very odd, but they have shuffled forwards into the gaps now. Tis very clever!
