Crooked teeth

[mummydreamer]

if it's all her baby teeth, the dentist can't do anything anyway can they?? don't they have to wait until the adult teeth come in? i wouldn't worry for another five years or so Lol.

they can do stuff earlier when some adult teeth are through.

I don't think crooked baby teeth necessarily an indicator crooked adult teeth. DS 2 front bottom teeth are angled inwards, I had the same thing when I was little. My adult teeth are straight as anything. I wouldn't be too concerned until she gets permanent teeth.

Barb - cannot add anything more than what others have said already. DD teeth are crooked. Her dad has really bad teeth but mine are pretty good aside from a gap in the top front two. I am not worrying about her teeth I figured they fall out anyway and what others have said here, there is no point doing anything with baby teeth as they don't indicate what the adult teething will be like.

well I'm going against the grain there is nothing wrong with her seeing a dentist DS#1 had his frist visit at 15mths its not so invasive but give the dentist a good idea whats going on etc, shap of jaw

DS#2 will be going soon he is 16mths, his top 2 teethe either side of the middle seem to have come in behind the middle so I am going to get him checked just to be sure...there is no harm in having a dentist have a looksie

Thanks for all your replies.
I think DH is going to take her to the dentist anyway. I'm not so worried but I'm finding DH's constant comments about her teeth very irritating.
I showed him the first few replies on this thread and his reaction was "I don't think they know what they're talking about". Grrr.

well tell him im a dental nurse!
i also second rachs advice about a check up, they can go at any age, at this age its generally for a fun visit as their not very co operative!
