The mother of a 6 year old patient is concerned because
her child has a “double row of teeth”. On examination,
teeth 4.1 and 3.1 are erupting lingual to 8.1 and 7.1.

appropriate management?
Reassure parent that this occurrence is a variation
of normal eruption.
Disc teeth 8.2 and 7.2 to allow eruption of 4.1 and
3.1.
Extract teeth 8.1 and 7.1 at this appointment
Refer the patient to an orthodontist as soon as
possible
