    Adult tooth came in behind a baby one. What options do I have?
    Okay, so I never pulled the baby canine tooth on my left side. The adult tooth has come in behind it and the baby tooth is kind of sticking out. I really want to pull the baby tooth out but I do not want a gap and the adult canine tooth to be pushed behind. Would the adult tooth push itself forward? Should/could I get a retainer to pull it forward? I have also thought if the expensive and immediate results of a false tooth. I just don't know what to do!

    A Dentist who has actually seen your mouth is the best person to ask.

    Anything over the Internet is pretty much a guess.
