Have my teeth stopped growing?

Question

I'm 13 but my last baby tooth isn't out. It's been hanging loose for just over a year now, it feels as though the 2nd tooth has grown in above it, and I also have a lump in the bottom left at the very back of my mouth. I know it's a tooth because it's broken through slightly, but again it hasn't seemed to have grown much in ages! all of my other teeth are in, and if these 2 don't wisen up and aren't out be next april I'll probably have to wait another year to get my brace. (I've already been told to come back in 18 months last year).

Answer 1

You need to pull out that lose tooth. It's probably in the way of the new tooth, which could mess it up. I think when you get a new set of teeth you get new teeth in the very back of your mouth, but they are kinda worthless so don't worry bout it.
