Second teeth coming in behind baby teeth?

Question: My daughter has her first two adult teeth coming in (bottom front) but they are coming in behind her baby teeth...the baby teeth are not loosening. I would think the new tooth would come into the same place and push the baby tooth out and make it loose..?

I am taking her to see a dentist next week, I was just wondering what to expect. Will the dentist have to pull her baby teeth to let the new teeth come forward where they should be? Any parents have this experience before?

Answers:
An adults tooth, main function/job is to push the baby tooth out. BUT, if its not aligned straight to begin with, then NO it wont. Depending on your childs age, if the Doctor will extract it or not. If you child is 5ish-7ish, which is the typical time for these baby teeth to start coming out, they might let them ride for awhile longer, if their loose. If their not loose, they might take them out seeing how the permanet ones are coming in already. Let the Doctor take them... the sooner they come/get out.. the better it will be. *Sorry to say, sounds like braces are coming your way. At first notice of an adult tooth coming in, ALWAYS loose or not, have your child start working on the baby tooth, sometimes it does require a little help.
