Is The Teeth Development Normal?

My 8 year old daughter had lower incisor shark teeth last year. I just noticed her upper incisor teeth were loosening up. The one on the right is loose but the left one seems a little more non movable. However behind that left front incisor tooth I found an adult one starting to break through. Is this normal where the shark teeth develop in the upper incisor and should I treat this any differently than what I was told with the lower inscisor where I just leave them alone?

Hello!Thank you for posting here.

This is pretty normal.The eruption age is also normal.The permanent teeth erupt on the inside and these milk teeth present in front loosen up further and shed away.
Maintain a good oral hygiene.Brush gently twice daily.Gargle after every meal and snack.Her general dental checkup should be once in every 6 months.
The upper teeth must be placed little outside than the lower teeth.You must see the dentist if you suspect the lower teeth are coming on the outside than upper counterpart.
Regards.
