Hello doctor,
My seven-year-old daughter lost her two front teeth well over 18 months ago. They have no signs of coming in still. Is there a problem? Should I get a check up done? Please advise.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Normally it should have started erupting as seven to eight years is the average age and seven to twelve months is the average eruption time after tooth falls. In case your girl is malnourished or low in weight or there is any other systemic condition associated, the situation might differ. I think you need to visit a dentist and get an X-ray IOPAR (intraoral periapical radiograph) done to know the proper situation. So visit a dentist as soon as possible and get the proper information of the cause. Mostly the tooth erupts by itself, after taking above average time. I hope this helps. Thank you.
