Do we HAVE to have the baby tooth pulled if the adult tooth is coming in behind it?

Baby teeth fall out by themselves 99.99% of the time.

No, when I was 6 that same thing happened to me, and I just let it grow in behind my other tooth. Eventually my baby tooth came out, but now that I have braces, it is a bit of a pain to fix, but my teeth are almost straight now. So I would just say leave it alone and let nature take its course.

No, it is not a necessary operation. unless the baby tooth is causing the tooth behind it to come in a bad angle or your getting braces. getting a tooth pulled isnt bad, but just wait it out if hes only 6..

no you don't. if the adult tooth is coming in it will sort of push the baby tooth out. of course at sometime the tooth will get so loose that it will come out when you're eating or something like that. i think the best idea is to wiggle the tooth to make it loose and then just pop it out.

well if u think about it all baby teeth have adult teeth behind them sometime and they usually fall out themselves so....unless the adult tooth is like growing through the gum or over the top of the baby tooth,

i would say no.

Yeah, it helps. If the baby tooth is still there, it may stop the adult tooth from coming in straight. Don't be a wimp. Get daddy to do it :-P

Yeah, you`ll have to get the baby tooth pulled, or it can damage your son's teeth. Go visit the dentist for further assistance in removing it.

yeah. its only slightly loose because the adult tooth is starting to wedge it in tighter. get it taken out asap or the kids gunna have a REALLY f*cked up lookin part of his mouth.

no, eventually they baby tooth will come out by itself, but he may in the future need braces

As long as its not causing any pain or messing up the alignment of his teeth I would let it come out on its own.
