My tooth isnt coming in?


Question:
I am 12 almost 13, and i lost my last tooth like 3 months ago. The adult tooth has not yet come in! Not even a little glimps is there. You cant see ANY of the tooth. I know the adult tooth is there cause i went to the dentist about 4 months ago (before the tooth) and they said that the adult tooth is there and everything. Im a little worried. Also i havent damaged it or anything bad, it just WONT come in! I need help/advice. Whats up with this?? Will it ever come in?

Answers:
It will eventully come in. Its just taking its own sweet time. Since your older it will take awhile longer to come in. This happened with my tooth aswell, it wasnt a molar it was one of side "fangs" it took about 4 months to start growing. No worrys. This is the chart i have found for you:

Age 6, adult first molars come in behind the baby teeth
Age 6-7, lower and upper incisors come in.
Age 11-13 premolars come in (second premolars often first)
Age 12 second molars come in behind first molars.
Age 12-13 canines come in.
Age 16 to 20 or so, wisdome teeth come in.

It could take awhile but i wouldnt worry! Hang tightt!!
You are suffering from dental absentisis. The tooth is there but decaying slowly and will never descend.

Ok, just kidding. It'll come in. Be patient.
Yes, it will come in eventually and that sounds like a normal amount of time. Since it's your last tooth, I'm guessing it was a molar, and those take longer to come in than incisors and canines. Also, at your age, teeth take longer to come in than they do in younger children. Think about it- little kids grow a lot more in short amounts of time than teenagers, so why wouldn't their teeth be the same way?
Do not worry. Your tooth will eventually grow in, just give it time!
Some times, the tooth appears after many months, be patient
