My 8 year old has lost a baby tooth and still no sign of a new one should I be worried
Q. Hi my 8 year old son lost a baby tooth 12 months(canine) ago there is still no sign of a new one coming through and the gap between his two front teeth seems to be getting bigger. how long does it take for second teeth to come through? should i be worried?
A. No don’t be worried the permanent canon etooth usually erupts aged 10 but the baby tooth can fall out earlier. The gap will be a good amount of space for the eruption of the final bigger new teeth that come through at the back and push the front teeth together,
