I have even seen parents who think the nasopalatine papilla (the soft pink bump between the two front teeth) is an extra tooth. <BR/><BR/>On the 5 year old, You can get an x-ray to confirm things like that. Good to get it looked at I suppose.

None of his permanent teeth has come in yet. Is this rare? Should I have it removed or just wait and see?<BR/>Can it just fall out with the other baby tooth?<BR/>AndyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16472438.post-59825884284350528102007-09-10T13:50:00.000-07:002007-09-10T13:50:00.000-07:002007-09-10T13:50:00.000-07:00Wondering if you know what this is. My daughter is one years old and has what looks like a pointy tooth coming out behind one of her top teeth. She's had her two front top and two front bottom teeth for a few months now. Her second pair of top teeth are coming in and behind hte left one it looks like another tooth is breaking through. What is this and what should we do?Haley's Momhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10450972223565879187noreply@blogger.com
