Depending on where teeth are erupting and which teeth are erupting, you may either need immediate intervention or wait. If the lower tooth is erupting behind the baby teeth, they are fine. You can wait a maximum of three months . Give her frozen carrot sticks to help the tooth fall faster. Gentle pressure from the tongue during movements and speech would help the adult tooth move forward but she may require braces later.
If the upper tooth is erupting in front of the baby tooth it's fine.
If upper tooth erupts behind the baby tooth or lower tooth erupts in front of the baby tooth, the baby teeth need to be extracted immediately to prevent any bite issues.
Kindly send a picture to your dentist and ask them for advise too
