Brief Answer:
Remove the old tooth!!
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
First of all thanks for your query.
I read through your query and I must say that nothing to be worried in this case.
As your child is 6 years old it is the right time for the incisors to erupt.
In some situations the new one will erupt into position but the old ones will not be removed by its own. In that situation you have to remove it. So I suggest you to remove the old incisor by yourself or go to a PEDODONTIST/DENTIST and get it removed.
The pushed out appearance of the new incisors will be relieved once the old incisors are removed and also the jaw bone will increase in size to accommodate the new incisors. Also I must say that please do take good care of new teeth as these are required by the child for rest of the life.
Do follow good oral hygiene practices.
Hope you are benefited something from this reply. If you have more queries please be free to ask us as we are here waiting to help you solve your problems. Have a healthy day!!!
