What should i do if my child is growing an adult tooth right behind a milk tooth?

Its time: This usually indicates that it is time for the baby tooth to come out. If you and the child are not able to pull it soon, see your dentist for help.

See a dentist: If an adult tooth erupts behind a baby tooth, the baby tooth should be extracted asap. The retained baby tooth prevents the permanent tooth from moving into its proper position.
