My nine year old son lost his 2 front teeth within days of each other. It's been almost 3 months & his adult teeth have yet to start coming in. He's lost other teeth & it seemed to take a month or so for teeth to come in. Friends I've talked to say Don't worry!!! But I am concerned. Going to dentist at this time is not possible. Any advise & input is Greatly Appreciated!!

What can I do next?

If it isn't possible because of finances call around and find out where there is a dental school or services that you could pay off. Sometimes they are there but growing out in a different way. If there is some other reason it's not possible (like transportation or something?) ask around where someone knows. Believe me, you and your children need a dentist. My husband and I have been losing teeth more recently and some of it is definitely due to staying away from the dentist. He was born in a different country and never, ever went to a dentist and while I acquired a bad set of gums from my mother, (she actually says sorry to that one haha) I also acknowledge that i didn't know how to care properly and I am paying for this later on. And I really do not like how look with a few missing teeth. The others have moved slightly and it is very expensive to get false ones> (my husband just did for the bottom). Good luck. It is probably nothing, but you don't want to shy away from the dentist.

I also was concerned because it seemed to take a really long time for my GD's two front teeth to come in. Like your son, she lost them very close together but they did eventually come in.

The front teeth take time to come in. My daughters took quite some time before I saw them. I would take him to the dentist anyway to be sure, they can see them in the x-rays.

I think adult teeth coming in is genetic. I got adult teeth in on the bottom before I ever even got loose teeth-had to have several on the bottom pulled. My son has 1 loose tooth right now(5 1/2yrs) with an adult tooth coming in-however I don't know anyone else that happened to. I also know that I went 9 months or so with out getting a k9 adult tooth in after loosing the baby one.

My 7 year old lost his two front teeth in April. There is still no sign of the adult teeth coming in. He's had X-rays and we can see them there. The Dentist said not to worry that everyone is different with how long they take to come in.

I just took my 7 and 9 year old kids to the dentist. I had the same question about their teeth not growing in yet (months after they lost teeth) and the dentist said it's fine and not to worry!
