What to do when the first permanent tooth erupts behind the primary tooth?



As moms, we are always attentive to every stage of our children’s development, and dental health is no exception. One of the most important moments in a child’s dental life is the appearance of the permanent teeth. However, sometimes the first permanent tooth can erupt behind the baby tooth, which can cause concern.

Why is it Important to Check Teeth?

Regular dental checkups are crucial to ensure that your child’s teeth grow healthy and strong. A pediatric dentist can detect problems early and offer appropriate solutions. When a permanent tooth erupts behind the baby tooth, it can cause alignment and spacing problems in the mouth, which could affect the bite and long-term dental health.

Most Frequent Cause: Lack of Space

The most common cause of a permanent tooth erupting behind the baby tooth is the lack of space in the child’s mouth.
