Baby's Teeth....?

This is just a question out of curiosity. A guy my husband works with said his pediatrician told him the later your baby's teeth come in the straighter there adult teeth will be. Has anybody else heard this? Thank you

Baby's Teeth....?
I haven't heard that they will be straighter but my dentist told me the later my son's teeth come in the more enamel they will have...therefore they will be strong.
Reply:no sorry
Reply:no, that's a new one.
Reply:i dont think that is true
Reply:I have heard this, but common sense tells me that most of the reasons for this is genetics. You can have the best teeth in the world, and not take good care of them and they rot. You can have weak teeth and do all you can to take care of them and they could last a lifetime or be more prone to disease. Good luck!
Reply:That is a myth. It doesn't matter when your child's teeth come in. A baby with the straightest baby teeth can have very crooked adult teeth (and vice versus) The adult teeth develop underneath the teeth they currently have (baby teeth) and then, when they start to come up, they push out the baby teeth. Staying in longer doesn't make them straighter. Basically, it just depends on how they grow in the gums and there is no way to control that.
Reply:no freakin' way! i am currently going thru baby teeth w/my 4th son and i have to say this has not been true so far. every baby is on a different developmental schedule. how straight ur teeth are later on in life has alot more to do w/how they grow in and the amount of space that each tooth has as opposed to how long they hang around in the gums.
Reply:I was always told that later their teeth come in the healthier they will be. This just might be a myth. I was glad that my kids got their teeth in early...they only had to deal with it for a short time. Very painful for the babies to go through.
Reply:the later the teeth the stronger they are and better .. no bottle rot.
