My son is 6 going on 7 and today I noticed that his two permanent bottom front teeth have come in behind his two baby teeth. Neither of the baby teeth are loose at all. It's like he has two rows of teeth there. I spoke to his dentist and they suggested he start trying to loosen the two baby teeth as the dentist prefers they fall out on their own. If nothing happens within the next two weeks I'm to take him to the office. Is there a remedy for something like this? They didn't seem too concerned and said this happens more often than you think. I'd like to prevent them pulling the baby teeth if possible and also am wondering if this could happen again with his other teeth. Thanks for any suggestions.

Thanks Gien. I have some calc phos here and I will look into it. Dessie

Have a look at Calc.Phos
My daughter had the same problem, after one dose of Calcium Phos 30 the teeth fell out.
First tooth two hours after taking the remedy.

Gien, one more thing, did your daughter's permanent teeth move into their correct position on their own? Dessie

Yes, dentist was much impressed.
My other daughter once received Calc Phos M
from homeopath for badly protruding front teeth. Teeth moved to normal position within
six weeks.

Forgot to mention, they did both fit into the remedy picture.

Gien,

I gave my son two doses yesterday and after school today I checked for looseness and its definitely started!! Dessie

Very clever, this is what I call classical homoeopathy. When things do not move forward, (the new teeth cannot dislodge the old) phos will bring vigour and when things cannot be budged,(the milk teeth not getting loose) calcarea will bring the motion.

All,

Perhaps this is as common as they say because my 6 year old is having the same problem. The first tooth fell out fine 3 months ago and the new tooth is coming in. The second perm tooth is coming in behind the second baby tooth. I gave some Calc Phos 30c last week and the tooth seems to be loose (it is hard to tell if it is any looser than before the calc phos)but it just isn't coming out. The new tooth is so far behind the baby tooth I am very worried about it straightening out if we don't get the baby tooth out of the way. Ben, any thoughts? Thanks,

SAM

Hi Ben!!!
Well, I am back on this topic. My son's teeth are loosened a bit but that's about it. I tried the calc phos first because of my son's physical makeup....he's thin with dark hair and eyes. I read where the calc carb child is more fair and plump. Also I saw where silica may be a useful remedy. My son's teeth (permanent one's) are basically in, just a row behind the baby ....so how can they push out the baby teeth??? Should I also try the calc carb then???? And what potency? Thanks. Dessie
