How long is it normal to have tooth gap?

[Anushka]

Help, not sure if I'm being neurotic but dd1 (9) lost one of her front teeth last Sept and still no sign of adult tooth. She's lost the other front one and that came thorugh almost straight away. Not sure if I ought to speak to the dentist.

Any advice please?

My ds (7.5) with his one next to the upper front lost it 2 1/2 years ago and still has a gap. Dentist told me to wait patiently and I believe it is now trying to poke through.

I would see the dentist as it is a front one and your dd is older. the dentist is then aware and decide.
