DELAYED FRONT TEETH
MY SON IS 6 YEARS, WILL BE TURNING 7 YEARS IN JULY. HIS FRONT TEETH CAME OUT IN DECEMBER LAST YEAR. BUT TILL TO DATE THEY'VE NOT COME OUT. IS THAT NORMAL OR WHAT? IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO OR MAYBE THE DENTIST CAN DO?

Ntso, the permanent front teeth (incisors) erupt between the ages of 6 and 9 years in normal children, so there is nothing to worry about. Good luck.
