“Baby teeth are supposed to make room for permanent teeth… but what happens when they don’t?” 👶🦷
This young patient came in with retained baby teeth that weren’t falling out as expected, causing the permanent teeth to grow behind and around them.
Early dental checks can help prevent crowding, bite problems, and more complex treatments later on. Sometimes, a simple extraction is all that’s needed to guide healthy tooth development.
If you’ve noticed new teeth coming in while baby teeth are still firmly in place, don’t ignore it—early intervention can make all the difference.
