My Kid's teeth are growing in like shark teeth - 2 rows

yikes! it's like that episode of Fringe!

My feeling is that dentists are experts at up selling the "hardware upgrades". If they thought your kid would need braces or serious corrective surgery, they'd be all over that.

But otherwise don't fret about it too much, you don't want to give your kid a complex about their teeth.

I have heard this to be true with certain dentists. It certainly isn't the case with my dentist who is the only dentist I have ever had starting at the age of 16 when was the first time I ever saw a dentist and who said if all his patients had teeth like mine that he would go broke even though I had a space between my two front teeth.

He never suggested filling the gap until I brought it up in my mid 30s so it certainly isn't the case with all dentists.

If macintosh doctor's son requires corrective surgery the dentist should in time bring it up if it is going to create a problem later in life...

He/she is probably waiting to see how more of his adult teeth come in before deciding if it is necessary. But all I can say is if it is indeed the case that he has two rows of adult teeth, that is a problem that should be corrected.
