Is it normal for teeth to grow in unusual places?

My little sister has a tooth growing just below her front teeth, on the lower half of her jaw. They're growing behind her front teeth on her lower jaw, in other words.





So basically, it's in a really weird place. She's 6 years old, and still has not lost any teeth.

Is it normal for teeth to grow in unusual places?
SHE IS THE NEW MESSIAH!!
Reply:Yes its normal. She might need braces, weird place is an armpit btw :p





i have a few friends that looked like jaws reeincarnated... nothing to worry about for now, dentist will take care of it in time :)
Reply:if it is not a 'usual' place then obviously it isn't normal.
Reply:SHE IS THE CHOSEN ONE (from jimmy neutron remember that odd show?)





sorry i copied the messiah person
Reply:no big deal i've see kids with two rows of teeth before,tell your mom to get her to the dentist,why are you worrying about it?
Reply:she'll probably lose it, but if not, the dentist will pull it when she gets older. my friend had the same thing. she had it pulled, got braces, and now has nice teeth.
Reply:i think she has "crowdy teeth"%26lt;------ i 4get what itz really called but itz when ur teeth are crowded and yes she will need braces....so do i but itz becasue my 2 front teeth are facing in (i thought u guyz should know..idky :)
Reply:Just look at the British peoples teeth- they are over the place! We are spoiled here in the USA by all the kids who have had theirs aligned.


An 'unusual place' is for a tooth to naturally grow - in the foot! And yes, it has happened.
