QuoteReplyTopic: Crooked Teeth in Toddler Posted: 06 July 2008 at 9:35pm
My 19 month old has all but a couple of teeth and some of them especially the front ones next to the eye teeth are crooked. Is this something to worry about.
Might be time to visit your local dental nurse, once school has gone back... I'd be concerned if they were the adult teeth. ..not so much with the baby teeth.

I had someone tell me that there was no need to worry until their second set came through, that sometimes the first are crooked, and the second aren't as bad (our little one had some coming through quite crooked as well though they are mostly ok now). I think this was from another mother who had also been worried about their child's teeth though, not from a dental person so I don't know how accurate it is.
Ollie has a crooked top front tooth, though its because he has an extra tooth pushing it forward. I took him to a dentist and she told me there isn't a lot that they would do with baby teeth as they'd fall out in a few years anyway. If he has crooked adult teeth, we'll deal with it then.
I just took Zac to the Dental Nurse today so you could phone your local school and see if they are working through the school holidays like our one is.
