Childs teeth alignment for 5 1/2 yr old?

My son lost one of his front two teeth (bottom) a few months ago and today he lost the one right next to it. The new tooth (from the first lost tooth) is coming out a little behind where the other tooth was. Is this normal or do the teeth normally come out in the same spot?

YVONNE,


YOU ASK A VERY GOOD QUESTION. THERE IS NO HARD SET RULE FOR ALL KIDS BUT HERE ARE SOME GUIDELINES FROM THE ADA

THE FACT THE PRIMARY TEETH HAVEN'T YET BEEN LOST WHILE THE PERMANENT TEETH ARE GROWING IN IS NOT A BIG DEAL. EITHER YOU OR THE DENTIST CAN EXTRACT THESE WHEN THEY ARE LOOSE ENOUGH.
Reply:They wil do a lot of shifting around as teeth are lost and regrow - I wouldn't worry about it.
Reply:if your really concered call and ask your dentist but it should be fine
