The eruption of permanent teeth can vary from child to child, and there's a wide range of normal when it comes to timing. Typically, after a primary (baby) tooth falls out, it can take several months for the corresponding permanent tooth to emerge. The timing can be influenced by factors such as genetics, overall health, and the child's age.
In the case of the top front teeth (maxillary central incisors), these are usually among the first permanent teeth to come in, usually around 6-7 years of age. However, some children might experience a delay, and it's not uncommon for the process to take longer than expected.
If you're concerned about the delay in the eruption of your daughter's new teeth, it's a good idea to consult with a pediatric dentist. They can assess her overall oral health and development and provide you with personalized guidance. In some cases, dental x-rays might be taken to check the status of the developing permanent teeth below the gumline.
Remember that every child's development is unique, so it's important to consult with a dental professional who can provide accurate information based on your daughter's individual situation.
