Have a tooth growing in behind my adult
I noticed that I have another tooth growing in behind my adult front top tooth and was wondering if I could do anything to help it stop or something. When I was a child my bottom front tooth and was curious if it was happening again and how to solve it.
Hello mam
This problem usually occurs if there is a remnant of milk tooth retained and is not completely shed. Also, it could be a part or extension of your permanent tooth. It would have been better if you could post a pic here.
The best approach is to visit a good dentist for proper diagnosis. The treatment could be extraction of remnant tooth or grinding depending upon diagnosis.
Next Steps
