No: Fluoride is not associated with delayed tooth eruption. If there is excessive Fluoride intake during tooth development fluorosis (a mottling of the teeth) can occur.  This is a cosmetic problem, though functionally the teeth are fine. 
In cases of Fluoride overdose (which would require very high levels of acute or chronic Fluoride intake), other more serious physiologic effects can occur.

See a dentist: The treatment options will depend on how old she is.  If she is very young child, there is very littel to do other than try to treat symptoms.  If she is older and getting perm teeth then she may need some baby teeth removed to aid in eruption.

Question 9

how long does wisdom teeth pain last during eruption?

Accepted Answer

It can vary: The duration of discomfort can be related to the position and size of the wisdom tooth in the jaw as it is trying to erupt.  Some wisdom teeth may be partially exposed in the jaw and never fully erupt, and can be an ongoing intermittent source of pain.  Others may have some temporary pain as the tooth is erupting which goes away when the tooth is fully erupted.  You should see your dentist.

Question 10

my 11 year old daughter only has 8 permanent teeth and the others are baby. should we just wait the baby teeth to fall out? is this a late eruption?

Accepted Answer

Baby teeth: Parents often worry that something is wrong when a child's baby teeth do not fall out as expected.  Most of the time everything is just fine.  Sometimes there are other problems which can delay the falling out of baby teeth.  Extra teeth can block the normal eruption.  Have her see a dentist and get X-rays.
