Hi ideally the permanent front tooth erupts between the ages of 6 to 7 years. Sometimes the tooth just needs extra force to erupt which is where a dentist can help. Since history of trauma to the primary tooth is also there it may have caused an impact on the permanent tooth bud.
Next Steps
Visit a dentist get thoroughly checked with proper xrays to evaluate how the permanent tooth is erupting. Based on the diagnosis the dentist would arrive at a suitable treatment plan for your child.
Health Tips
Maintenance of oral hygiene is very important. Make sure the kid brushes in the night. Massage the gums to increase blood circulation and keep them healthy.

I understand your concern about your daughter's missing front tooth. Losing a primary (baby) tooth at the age of 2 is not uncommon, and the permanent tooth should typically start erupting around the age of 6 or 7. However, every child develops at their own pace, and there can be variations in tooth eruption times. If your daughter has completed the age of 6 and there is still no sign of a new tooth emerging, it is recommended to consult a dentist for a thorough evaluation. The dentist will examine her dental development, take X-rays if necessary, and provide professional guidance based on her specific situation. In some cases, delayed tooth eruption can occur due to various reasons, such as genetics, trauma, or underlying dental issues. Your dentist will be able to determine the cause and provide appropriate treatment options if needed. While waiting for the permanent tooth to come in, it's important to maintain good oral hygiene for your daughter's overall dental health. Encourage her to brush her teeth regularly, avoid excessive sugary foods and drinks, and schedule regular dental check-ups. Remember, only a dentist can provide a proper diagnosis and tailored advice based on your daughter's individual situation. I recommend scheduling an appointment with a dentist to address your concerns and ensure the best possible care for your daughter's dental health.

Hi, Since she lost her primary tooth at a young age, the permanent tooth will take time to come out. Advise to get an X-Ray to evaluate the position of the permanent tooth.

Early loss of primary teeth can also lead to delayed eruption of permanent tooth. It is possible the tooth buds may be angulated after the trauma and taking time to erupt.
Next Steps
Get an X-ray done of the the area to know the status of permanent teeth.
