Forum Question of the Week
Spriteshadow writes:

"My daughter was born 12 weeks premature, and as a side effect has delayed growth issues. Her cognitive development has moved ahead at a normal pace, but after many tests it appears that her bone growth processes didn't "kick in" normally, and as a consequence she is running about 1.5 years behind. The growth specialist are going to monitor her, but it appears that from now until she passes puberty we will be comparing her to a corrected chart approximately 18 month younger than her chronological age.

Should we also be comparing her dental growth to a child 18 months younger? She lost a front tooth in an accident at 18 months old (huh, now that's a coincidence, that's when her growth slowed) and we're wondering when we can anticipate needing to start visiting the dentist to ensure the replacement has room to grow in?"

Visit the Dentistry Forum if you have experienced something similar with your child, or have professional advice to offer this forum member.
