Slipper Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 My middle daughter has awful dental issues. She has had major crowding and impacted teeth. If memory is correct, she has had a total of 12 teeth pulled over the past several years. Today, our dentist pointed out that her molars (I think that's what they are - the next to last tooth in her mouth) on both sides haven't completely come in (these are her baby molars, not permanent). Upon looking at them, I could see that they barely are past the gum surface. The dentist stated that we should have our orthodontist look at them but if she needed them out, we would need an oral surgeon to do the procedure. She said they were too tightly wedged into her mouth. (She took x-rays before speaking with me). Is this unusual for her age? (She is 11 1/2). I'm dreading another procedure for her. Plus, my oldest is having surgery for impacted canines next Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
