One of my adult teeth is coming in but the baby one won’t come out. my dentist wants to take it out but i don’t want to. What will happen if i dont’ take it out?

Brooke,
I agree with your dentist that you should have this tooth removed. If you don’t, your adult tooth will still come in, but it will come in crooked. Then, you’ll need braces to fix that later, which is much more expected. It is always better to prevent problem than it is to repair them.
You may also want to read about wisdom tooth extractions, because sometimes this is another preventative measure to take.
