What to do when shark teeth invade your childs' mouth

This is by far one of the most common emergency calls we get. A parent seeing two rows of teeth in their child's mouth can certainly incite panic! The good news is this is extremely common and almost always resolves itself. 

The natural posture of the tongue and lips usually creates just the right amount of force to allow the permanent teeth to move forward which will push out the baby teeth. There are times when this does not occur naturally and the baby teeth need to be extracted. 

Give it a few months, if it becomes bothersome come in for a visit. If you see rows of shark teeth in your child's mouth do not panic! This is not uncommon, set up an appointment with a pediatric dentist and determine if it will resolve on its own.
