A member asked:

I am 38 and a milk tooth fell out 2years ago. is it possible a tooth lay dorment as i have a new one coming through?

6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Yes: There are cases where permanent tooth is either impacted or missing. In those cases baby tooth can remain in mouth until it breaks down and gets destroyed. Good luck
