Baby teeth: Parents often worry that something is wrong when a child's baby teeth do not fall out as expected. Most of the time everything is just fine. Sometimes there are other problems which can delay the falling out of baby teeth. Extra teeth can block the normal eruption. Have her see a dentist and get X-rays.

Panorex to evaluate: Is the question in reference to orthodontic care? Have the dentist or orthodontist take a panorex to determine the eruption pattern of the secondary teeth.

The 3 categories of : delayed eruption of permanent teeth are local factors, systemic conditions & generalized delay. Take her to a pediatric dentist, a periodontist, to evaluate her for local factors & provide any needed treatment. If none are found, take her to her pediatrician to evaluate her for genetic, congenital or acquired medical causes (like hypothyroidism) & provide any needed treatment,

11 yr old daughter: I'm not sure what your question is. Should you wait for what? Take her to the dentist for an exam and x-rays to check on the presence, location and eruption of the permanent teeth.
