A member asked:
If my child is about to turn 7 and hasn't lost a baby tooth, should i be worried?

No.: Many children lose their teeth at a later age. This is frequently a family trait. Pulling the baby teeth does not make the 2nd teeth come in sooner.

No: See your pedodontist to find the reason. Six is the average age for incisors to come in. X-rays will show presence or absence of permanent teeth.
