Losing Baby Teeth?

My son%26#039;s bottom teeth are growing in uneven and they are making his back teeth push together and now my son keeps thinking he has something stuck in his teeth and now he is saying sometimes that his teeth hurt.


Has anyone else had this happen with new teeth?


Also He is 6 and hasn%26#039;t lost anymore teeth.


When do they lose there front teeth?

Losing Baby Teeth?
I don%26#039;t think it is unusual he hasn%26#039;t lost more teeth. I seem to remember there being a long time between losing the bottom and the top teeth - maybe as much as a year - and then another long period before more teeth were lost. Now, at 10, in the past month, he has lost 7 teeth! If you are concerned about the spacing and he is having pain, it may not be a bad idea to consult your dentist. Perhaps there are adult teeth coming in, or something else going on that is causing him pain. The dentist can tell a lot about what is going on by doing x-rays - ours told us our son would be losing a bunch of teeth all at once and soon, and she was right on the mark :) Good luck!
Reply:depending when he got them depends on when they will loose them...if they are all jammed in there right now %26amp; he doesn%26#039;t have many adult teeth, you may want to take him to the dentist to get some ideas. they may try a retainer to help with the comfort for him.
Reply:usually around age 6 is when they lost their front 2 teeth. Sometimes they need to be pulled. You may want to get him in sometime soon to see a dentist.
Reply:He should be losing his front teeth anytime. If he%26#039;s having a problem then you might want to take him to the dentist. If there%26#039;s not enough room for his new teeth they can probably go ahead and pull a baby tooth.
Reply:My son is almost seven and just lost his front teeth. I think that if he has pain, it would be worth checking on with a dentist. They do xrays that help you know what is coming and if they need help to get there.
Reply:Well I can only tell my tell. My son is 9 years old. He just got six baby teeth pulled at the dentist because they would not fall out on there on. He has two more teeth has to come out.


Before his next appointment in Sept or they will pull those to. Th dentist asked me your son is not a fan on pulling his own teeth. I told him no. Now I have a nephew who will pull his teeth out in a minute. It will happen soon enough on those front teeth. You know that%26#039;s usually the first ones to go.
Reply:My daughter lost her two bottom front teeth at the age of 6, almost 7. The new teeth were completely grown in before those two teeth fell out though so they were way behind. I went to the dentist and he said there is really nothing they can do about it at this point and he said in general they won%26#039;t pull baby teeth. So we just had to wait, they did fall out and the adult teeth have moved forward some but still aren%26#039;t completely in line with the rest of the teeth. The dentist said that just because they are crooked now it doesn%26#039;t mean they will be crooked forever. My friend%26#039;s son has really crooked teeth, at the age of 8 he had to wear what they referred to as an %26quot;appliance%26quot; for a few weeks, it%26#039;s all to start straightening his teeth and eventually get him ready for braces. My daughter is 7 1/2 and she just now lost one of her top front teeth, it%26#039;s been loose forever, I%26#039;m so glad it finally came out! Good Luck.
Reply:Get him to a dentist if he%26#039;s having pain. My youngest daughter%26#039;s permanent teeth came in before she lost her baby teeth and she was in agonizing pain from it because her teeth were being pushed all around. The dentist pulled 4 of her teeth and the pain was immediately relieved. He explained that some child%26#039;s teeth do not come in to the appropriate spot (misplaced) therefore they do not push out the baby teeth correctly.
Reply:You%26#039;ve got to get him in to see a dentist, so they can intervene if necessary.
Reply:Take him to the dentist.
