Hello everyone! I'm new here so I hope my post is ok, and not something already covered extensively! I'm wondering about my 7 yr old sons adult teeth. My son plays rough & unfortunately he injured his 2 front teeth& the dentist said we needed to pull them (I think to not negatively affect his adult teeth? Can't remember for sure) - he was only 3 at the time! The dentist told us his adult teeth look fine and they can already see them, theyll be coming in. Well that was years ago, now he's 7 (8 in October!) and STILL NO SIGN OF the 2 front teeth! (On top)...i think of cute 5 year olds in kindergarten singing "all I want for Christmas is my 2 front teeth!"... At 7 though?! That doesn't seem right to me and I'm increasingly worried. He's already given up hope that he will ever have anything there by now, it's so sad. With how many years going without them, I'm now worried about how it could negatively affect speech (his words tend to sound babyish), tongue position, tooth placement etc! Is this abnormal for his age, should I be worried?! Please let me know, thank you in advance!!
