My six year old has an adult tooth behind the milk tooth, its been 3 months like that.. problem..?

We took my daughter to the Dr and Dr says wait for another 2 months as the milk tooth doesn't have roots they will fall eventually.. But will the permanent tooth be crooked

Probablly not. You may want to take her to a dentist who speciallizes in pediatric dental care. They will be able to tell if it will effect her adult teeth.
Reply:Some milk teeth fall out eventually.....others do not. My sister never lost 2 of her milk teeth.....she had them pulled in High School and they did make her teeth crooked ( the adult teeth were forced to come in behind since no space was available ) I also had 1 milk tooth pulled at age 19......My adult tooth did not come in until I had it pulled. I am now in braces because the adult tooth did not come in right. I say get them pulled as soon as possible.....it wont hurt much since they have no roots.....and it will give her adult teeth the best chance of coming in straight.
