Question:
How long does it take for a child's teeth to come out after they are pulled? The dentist pulled out 2 of my daughter's teeth to make room for her permanent teeth. It's almost a year and I haven't seen her permanent teeth come out yet...Janet
Answer:
Janet, whenever a tooth is removed/pulled, it depends on which tooth/teeth were removed and the age of your daughter which will determine when the permanent tooth/teeth will erupt. For example, if your daughter is 7 and the dentist removed her lower canines, the permanent lowercanines usually erupt between the ages of 9-10. Be patient, the permanent teeth will come in.
