Hi. This appears to be a normal variation in eruption of teeth. Don't worry and wait for some time. If you have taken OPG then the dentist can check the amount of tooth root development and predict probable time of eruption of permanent teeth. If your daughter's milk teeth came in late then it is very likely that permanent teeth also come little late. Meanwhile maintain good oral health to avoid gum bleeding . Dr Swati Karkare.

visit a Pedodontist to get better understanding of New teeth and ask for a mouthwash for your daughter.
