My daughter's permanent left front tooth has not come out of the gum in 3 months. Is it time to panic?

She is 6years old as of 24th December 2007 and her left side front tooth has not come out in almost 3 months. She has a very healthy diet of lots of salads, fruit and milk, and supplemental calcium.

Absolutely not! Just as kids lose their teeth at different ages, they also grow new ones at different times. My seven year old just got her front two through a little before Christmas and they had been missing over 12 months!!! It's nothing to do with health, she is healthy as a horse, hasn't missed a day of school due to sickness the whole 2 years she's been there. That was about the point she lost hers too, when she was six, so I definately wouldn't worry. Her new teeth are looking strong and healthy, it was just not such a great look in the mean time! Twelve months is a long time to have such a big gap.
