Q. my son is 6 years and 9 months old .his upper canine teeths fell off 8 months ago .still there is no sign of teeth eruption .wondering if anything needs to be done.lower canines fell after upper ones and they erupted completely. he was a thumbsucker .

A. He is still young for his canine teeth to be coming out they normally erupt around the age of 9.  If you are concerned ask your dentist to take an x-ray to assess that all the teeth are present and developing normally.
