Hi Moms,
My 4 1/2 year old is complaining that her teeth hurt. I took a look and it appears there's something white protruding behind her last bottom molar (so, it looks like another tooth coming in). But I thought all her baby molars should be in by now. I may call the dentist today but I am just wondering if anyone had molars come in around this age.
Thank you to everyone who responded. ;-) After a quick stop at the dentist, we now have confirmation that this is, in fact her 6 yr molar coming in. Just as an FYI to all the moms out there, the dentist did say that it could recede a bit before it actually comes through the gums so I shouldn't worry that it was something else if it stops hurting her for a bit without actually coming in.
Generally, these are called the "six year molars". My daughter got hers in kindergarten.
It is a little early, but it could be her six-year-old molars. Some motrin should help with the pain. If you are really concerned should can call the dentist and see what they say.
could be her 6 year molars my oldest had all 4 of them by the time he turned 5.
Ditto to the other answers. She really is a "big" girl now!
Kids do get 6 year molars. Maybe she is getting her's early. When you have her xrays done at the dentist, they can tell you where she stands with them.
he could be getting his six year molars in
my daughter is 4 yrs and two months and at her last dentist appt. The dr. said shell be getting her six yr molars soon. I was surprised too.
