If there are any Dentists out there, I'd appreciate a bit of advice.
My 10 year old has an adult tooth emerging inside her baby tooth. This process started about a year ago & the outer milk tooth hasn't progressed in it's wobbliness - it wiggles a bit, but bumps the adult tooth behind it so movement is limited. We see the dentist every 6 months & in December she advised that when the milk tooth is out & H is a bit older, she will require braces to pull that tooth out & into place.
All fine so far, except we are at the dentist again in June & are no further forward, so H is worried the dentist will pull out the milk tooth to allow the development of the adult tooth. We try to wobble it often, but as previously said, it's backwards / forwards motion is limited. Should she try side to side & twisting? She really, REALLY wants to get it out without the dentist's intervention
