Teeth can sometimes grow in abnormal positions after eruption, and this can be caused by several factors, including:
• Premature extraction of primary teeth, which allows adjacent teeth to expand and fill the space left by the extracted teeth, leading to permanent teeth growing in abnormal positions.
• Delayed extraction of baby teeth due to the child’s fear of visiting the dentist, which may also lead to a lack of space for permanent teeth to erupt, leading to them appearing in unnatural positions.
Therefore, it is important to seek out a specialist pediatric dentist in both cases.

• Delayed appearance of permanent teeth.
• Early loss of baby teeth.
• Jaw misalignment due to bad habits, such as thumb sucking, leading to a condition called open bite.
• tooth decay.
• Tooth decay reaches the nerve.
• Tooth erosion due to bad eating habits.
• Trauma that leads to tooth fracture.

There are several criteria that children should be aware of to help them understand the purpose of their visit to the dentist:
• Talk to them gently about the role of a dentist and what they do by watching animations or simple educational videos.
• Avoid discussing painful situations such as toothache, injections, or fillings in front of them.
• Inform the child of the dentist appointment early to avoid anger or fear.
• Avoid rewarding or frightening the child with toothache to convince him to go to the dentist. Instead, make the process simple and smooth.

There is no specific date for extraction of baby molars in children, but the doctor decides the appropriate date for extraction in the event of a tooth fracture, deep tooth decay, tooth collapse, or a molar abscess. In some cases, a space maintainer must be performed immediately after the extraction of the baby tooth to avoid orthodontic problems
