is this normal?

My DD aged 6 has gor her first wobbly tooth - bottom middle. But the new one is already peeking throuh behind it. Is this normal? Would so like for her to grow up with a nice straight set of teeth :-)

Normal, they move forward and fill the gaps.

yes, happens a lot - might have both teeth for some time. definitley not a problem if hte baby tooth is wobbly

better decide what the tooth fairy pays out in your household...

Our dentist said they no longer pull out baby teeth to allow growth of the permanent ones - so you can end up with two rows of teeth for a while. Like a shark, which my DS thought would be pretty cool.
