Q.
Hi there, my son who has just turned 8 has 2 adult teeth at the bottom front growing behind the normal line of his teeth – there is no space fo rthem to fit in – the dentist I have seen has recommended that he has 2 of his milk teeth removed so that the back teeth can move forward – I’m worried about removing the milk teeth as they should have lasted him another 1-2 years – and what happens when the adult teeth appear for the milk teeth that have been taken out? It feels a shame ot remove teeth when there is nothing wrong with them but understand that his jaw is small. Is this the only option
