Grace, a third grader, is beginning to get many of her permanent teeth. Her mom is concerned because Grace's permanent teeth seem much too large. What can you tell Grace's mom? Grace's permanent teeth will appear shorter as they "settle" in to her jaw. As Grace loses all 24 of her primary teeth, the permanent teeth will appear smaller. As Grace's neck and torso grow, her teeth will appear smaller. Grace's jaw and chin bones will grow to accommodate the newly erupting teeth.

Tell her that they are supposed to be large.

Step-by-step explanation:

Due to them being "adult" teeth, they naturally look giant on a 8 year old.
