Normal eruption age of upper front permanent tooth is 7-8 years. So don't worry. Maintain oral hygiene. Visit a local pedodontist for physical evaluation.

It is not uncommon for children to experience variations in the eruption timing of their milk teeth. While the average age for upper central incisors (front teeth) to erupt is around 7-8 months, there can be individual variations. In some cases, certain teeth may take longer to erupt than others. There can be several reasons for the delay in the eruption of your son's upper milk teeth: Genetic factors: The timing of tooth eruption can be influenced by genetic factors, and some children may naturally experience delays compared to the average timeline. Crowding or lack of space: If the permanent teeth underneath the milk teeth are not properly aligned or there is limited space for eruption, it can cause delays in the shedding of milk teeth and the eruption of permanent teeth. Trauma or injury: If your son experienced any trauma or injury to the affected area, it could potentially delay the eruption process. While a delay of a few months may not necessarily be a cause for concern, it is advisable to have your son's dental development evaluated by a pediatric dentist. They will be able to assess his overall oral health, take X-rays if necessary, and determine if any intervention is required. In the meantime, you can encourage good oral hygiene practices for your son, including regular brushing with a child-friendly toothbrush and toothpaste, and scheduling routine dental check-ups. This will ensure that his oral health is maintained and any potential issues are addressed promptly. Please remember that the information provided here is general in nature, and it's important to consult with a qualified pediatric dentist who can examine your son and provide personalized advice based on his specific situation. We hope this information helps, and we encourage you to schedule an appointment with a pediatric dentist to address your concerns and ensure the healthy development of your son's teeth.
