Late lower teeth Back

Expert Answers

Well children have different timings for eruption of teeth.. The baby teeth complete erupting by 3 to 3 and 1/2 years, so it's normal to have delay in eruption. Usually lateral incisor erupt earlier than molars but in some kids it may happen as a normal thing. One more reason the teeth do not erupt is if the tooth is not formed in the children, though rare it occurs at times. Some children may also have a missing permanent teeth. We can be sure about whether it is missing or not by taking an X-ray. Once the lockdown is over it can be done. You may contact me and we can do the check up accorindingly. Till then take care of your baby's teeth by brushing twice a day.
