Can two baby teeth come in in the same socket? our son's left eyetooth is coming in, and it kind of looks to me like two teeth are coming in at the same time in one socket. is this at all possible?

It : It is probably one tooth, and depending on the shape it looks like two to you. Then again, if two baby teeth are fused together, it might be two teeth. Have your dentist take a look and he will let you know for sure.

Probably not.: Most likely the baby eyetooth is still there at least in part. Another, more rare occurence is a tooth that tried to split into two teeth when forming in the jawbone, but did not separate completely. This phenomenon is called "gemination" professionally. If you feel something is not right, please see a dentist quickly. Your child is the most important person in your life!

Fusion or gemination: Could be 2 baby teeth fused together. More likely 1 baby tooth trying to split into 2. More common in baby teeth than permanent teeth. Take your son to see a pediatric dental specialist, the experts in children's dentitional development. 1st dental ck-up age 1. And make sure 1st orthodontic ck-up age 7.
