Answer:
Hi dont worry this is perfectly normal. Your adult tooth is coming through, usually they come through straight and push the baby tooth out, but in some cases, especially when your teeth are crowded, they willl come through in the position as you have described. Your baby tooth will either come out on its own, with a little help of wiggling and wobbling from you, or you may need it extracted by your dentist, but is a very straight forward procedure done under a topical anaesthetic gel if requested. Once the baby tooth has gone the adult tooth will either push its way into the correct position if there is room, or if there is no room you may require orthodontic treatment (braces) when you are older to help align your teeth and give you a nice smile. Hope this is of help, nothing to worry about you are perfectly normal.
You need to see the dentist and he will probably pull the baby tooth so the new one can come in properly. I had that happen years ago.
See a dentist.
This is a frequent occurance.

You should see a dentist to be sure there is room for all your adult teeth.
yep its normal.but make sure the dentist knows
You need to pull the baby tooth or see a dentist first so it can grow in normally and roperly, hopefully you'll get it in time to let it grow in normally.
it means your family never took you to a dentist. some people this happens to. find more info at www.medlineplus.gov some people have to have all babies pulled out and let the adults in. you may have jaw problems because of it.
It's fine. It's not abnormal or anything. Just go to the dentist and they will tell you what needs to be done to fix it. I had the same problem but then I was getting my braces (after the baby tooth fell out) and they were able to move down the tooth and its fine now. So don't worry.
pull out your baby tooth geeky
