Does A Permanent Tooth Grow Behind A Temporary Tooth?
I am 18 years old and I still have a temporary tooth, I just had it removed today, I feel so conscious because it is my lower canine and at this age being toothless is an embarrassment. Will a permanent teeth still grow? if yes, how long will it take then? Thank you in advance.

Thanks for using Health Care Magic.
Read your query.
Yes ,milk tooth has to be removed .
I would advice you to visit your oral surgeon and have the radiograph done to know the location and the erupting status of your permanent canine tooth.
If impacted ,it can be brought to position by a small surgical procedure.If missing ,replacement of the tooth can be done.
Hope this was useful.
Thanks and regards.
