My daughter’s adult teeth aren’t coming through yet, should I be concerned about this?

Tuesday, July 6th, 2010
Q.
My daughter lost her first baby teeth at 4.5 years old. None of her adult teeth have replaced them very quickly. She lost her two front baby teeth two years ago. One adult one has grown fine, but the other one took a year before it started to come through and then stopped growing! It is about half the size of her other adult tooth. I have mentioned it to two dentists who do not seem overly concerned, but it doesn’t feel right!! She has lost both teeth either side (some time ago) and no signs of them growing either. Am I worrying for nothing or should I seek a third opinion? thanks,
A.
