Why are some toddlers teeth pointed all over?he was bottle fed. active and alert.

Erupting : Erupting incisors may have small bumps on the edge. These are normal developmental structures call mammelons. As your child starts chewing solid food these mammelons will wear down and the edges will appear smooth. You will also see the same phenomena with the erupting permanent teeth. By the way you should think about scheduling you child's first dental appointment with a pediatric dentist once his front teeth come in. This will introduce them to the experience in a non-threatening way.

Do : Do you mean his teeth are pointing in different directions, or that they are pointy? Baby teeth are a bit sharp when they erupt to help cut through the gum, so that is the reason they are pointy if that is your question. If you mean they are not straight and pointed outwards, then that may be his natural eruption pattern. How old is he? Two? Three? If so, he is overdue for his first dental visit. Have his new dentist take a look since he can give him a physical exam and let you know if the pattern is within normal limits.

When : When baby teeth erupt, the mammelons make the teeth look jagged, but this is normal. In a short time these will wear smooth all on their own.
