My daughter has two rows of teeth?

Okay she's almost 6 and one of her bottom front baby teeth has been loose for a week or so. I looked in her mouth today and I saw that her two permanent teeth have already come in behind the baby ones. Is this normal? Do you think I should be worried or will the others just fall out after a while? She's always had a severe underbite and now the two new teeth line up perfectly with the top row-does this sound familiar to anyone??

My daughter has two rows of teeth?
it happened to my daughter. she is six now, she was 5 when it happened. i looked and saw both her bottom front teeth had come in behind her baby teeth. the dentist let it go for a while, he said her new teeth will start moving forward and cause her baby teeth to get wiggly which is exactly what happened. both her baby teeth fell out withing about a month and her new teeth moved up on their own. dont worry. it happens. you should take her to her dentist to just make sure everythings going ok but it was fine with us. good luck!
Reply:Get her to the dentist. It's not normal.
Reply:I've never heard of that before. Maybe you should take her to the dentist
Reply:i dont think this is normal, so maybe get an appointment at the dentist. They may need to take the baby teeth out to make room for the permanent ones
Reply:I would take her to the dentist. Has she been having her 6 month cleanings? and yearly ex-rays?
Reply:My daughters did this. I called the dentist and he wasn't real worried. Just said work to try to get those baby teeth out. He did say that they should straighten with time (mine daughters are crooked from coming in early) but if not he would worry about that later on. So my answer based on our experience is it isn't anything abnormal or anything to worry about.
Reply:My son did that and I really wish now I had the baby teeth pulled.. His was one of his top teeth, and one bottom...They are both really messed up..If you can get them out, do asap If not,.I would suggest getting them pulled..Just my .02
Reply:No, it's not familiar, though my dad had his wisdoms pulled and they grew back in. It would be least traumatic to the child to let them fall out by themselves, though I think a dentist or orthodontist would think differently.





Take care!

Reply:Don't freak out, this is more common than you might think. They should fall out on their own. I have seen this several times before and even had several teeth do this for me. They will eventually fall out or need to be extracted. As long as they aren't bothering her I wouldn't worry about it, but I would still suggest seeing a dentist about it.





Hope this helps! :-)
Reply:you should defiantly go to the dentist, there was a boy I knew in high school with two rows of teeth....his teeth reminded me of a shark's.


so it may not just go away on it's own, and letting them stay can cause the new teeth to come in crooked...so do you want to pay to get some teeth pulled or the much more expensive option of braces.
Reply:Everyone is born with two sets of teeth. Normally, one set pushes the other out. In her case, both sets are crowding themselves in.





It's not incredibly common, but not at all unheard of.





Two of my teeth did this, and the others did not. They were the uppers, third from the center on either side. The adult set came in over the baby set.





I had braces, and it pulled them down (because they came in over, not in the same place as, the baby set, they were higher than all the other teeth).





You should speak with her dentist, but the truth is, if she needs braces, she'll need them whether you have the teeth pulled or not. Mine were pulled about a year before I got braces. Still needed 'em.
Reply:My little brother actually had 2 rows of teeth, and a few extra here and there that made him technically have 3 rows in places. He got braces, needless to say. He's absolutely fine now.
Reply:my adult cousin has this problem, he says there is nothing they can do until her adult teeth are in, go in the dentist section for better advice from proffessionals
Reply:Take her to the dentist. I had two teeth that didn't fall out like they should and my parents didn't do anything...both were out of place.
Reply:My brother and I both grew 2 rows of teeth because we didn't like wiggling our teeth to get them out. They did fall out in time, though, no problem. They were loose, after all.


I remember my brother went for a dental checkup and the dentist said, "I can get those loose teeth out for you." My brother didn't want that, so my mom wouldn't let the dentist do it.


On the other hand my puppy grew a double set of canine teeth, and the baby teeth didn't get loose. Finally I had the extras extracted; it's not a big deal with baby teeth.
Reply:Yes it is fine! It happened to my 6 year old daughter too. I took her to the dentist. He said it is called "sharks teeth". It is okay. He just told her to really work at wiggling the baby teeth so they would come out. When they did, the permanent teeth moved right up into position!! Nothing to worry about. but you really need to make her wiggle so they come out. Because after awhile he said if they didn't fall out on their own, he would have had to pull them!! But that got her wiggling them!! Good luck and don't worry!!!
Reply:This is happening to our 6yo daughter as we speak..She has both of her front bottom teeth coming in behind the baby ones. I took her to the dentist as soon as I saw the 1st one and he said it was normal and to have her wiggle them all the time to get the baby ones out. He explained that the baby teeth fall out as a result of the grown teeth coming but they do not push them out, rather the baby tooths root disolves and then the crown of the baby tooth then comes out since it is only attached at the gum. If you are worried I would go to the dentist just for a healthy check up.
