Kids teeth--not enuf room to grow-gettin pulled?

Question

i called dentist n hes pullin her eye teeth so her others will move (their over lappin her 2 front teeth)-i think the bottom eye teeth should go too. she turned 9 last week n hasnt lost a tooth in over 2 years. her baby teeth roots are bigger than the baby teeth.

have u been here b4? did the teeth come in better? did they move back into place? thanks

Answer 1

i had the same problem.

i had to have 4 baby teeth out for spaces, then 6 adult ones (4 bottom, 2 top)

now, my wisdoms are growing..

had to have the one in front of wisdom out to make room for wisdoms.

the others did have room and grew nicely in the end.

no spaces from the work i had done as a kid.  

Answer 2

I would suggest you take her to an orthodontist before you let a dentist pull any teeth. She might need a palatal expander, that will create more room in her mouth for her teeth. Most orthodontists only pull teeth as a last resort.
