My 20-month-old son’s teeth are coming in crooked. A couple of them are straight, but it looks like the other teeth are crooked. What should I do? I cannot tell if his teeth hurt him, and he does not complain much about them. Maybe I am worried too much.

Reply: I understand your concern about your 20-month-old son’s crooked teeth. It’s natural for parents to worry about their child’s health and well-being. However, it’s important to remember that children’s teeth come in at different times and in various orders. In most cases, crooked teeth in young children are nothing to worry about and are a normal part of dental development.

Having your child’s teeth checked by a pediatric dentist is always a good idea. They can assess your child’s dental health and determine if any intervention is necessary. Additionally, if your child is experiencing any pain or discomfort, it’s essential to have them seen by a dentist as soon as possible.

If you do not currently have family dental or dental insurance for your child, buying some is a good idea, as it will help control the cost of dental care. I hope this information is helpful, and please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns.
