Tooth eruption problems can occur with both primary (baby) teeth and permanent teeth. Impaction, abnormal eruption, and early eruption are common issues with permanent teeth that may arise due to primary teeth being lost too early or too late. However, baby teeth may also erupt irregularly due to other teeth being in the way or not having enough space in the jaw.
Keeping an eye on your child's tooth development, watching for oral pain, and scheduling your child's first dental visit before their first birthday can help prevent eruption failure (impaction).
