The eruption of permanent teeth after the loss of baby teeth can vary widely from person to person. In general, the timeline for permanent teeth to emerge after the loss of primary (baby) teeth can range from a few weeks to several months.
Since your son is 5.5 years old and the front tooth has not yet grown in after 2 months, it might be a good idea to consult a pediatric dentist. They can evaluate the situation and determine if there are any underlying factors that could be affecting the eruption of the permanent tooth. It's possible that there might be some delay in the tooth's eruption due to individual variations in growth and development.
Keep in mind that dental development can have a range of normal timelines, and some variation is expected. However, if you have any concerns, it's best to have a professional assess the situation to ensure that everything is progressing as it should.
Consulting with a pediatric dentist will provide you with accurate information and peace of mind regarding your child's dental development. They can also offer guidance on proper oral care during this transitional phase and answer any questions you might have.

Don't worry.
Normal eruption age is 6-7 years for these teeth.
Wait and watch for 3-6 months.

Hi,
The permanent tooth will erupt by the age of 6 to 7 years. There is nothing to worry at this point. You can get an X-ray to just confirm the position of the permanent tooth.
