Q. Hi.My son is 10 and his top canines are just erupting.One is out and seems to be high on his gum but not impeded in any way.Is this normal and is it likely to move down to join adjacent teeth?I have just been to dentist but she is off sick and my next appt is not till January.Please advise for the meantime.Thank you.

A. It is normal for the canines to do this, my son looks the same! Wait for another 2 years or so and see how they develope as the teeth erupt and the child grows.
