My. Dd is almost 6 she said her front bottom tooth was loose, I looked at she has 2 new teeth growing behind her teeth? Has anyone ever seen this? Is looks really weird.

Her baby teeth are just slow coming out. The new teeth can't wait. Encourage wiggling. Eventually the new teeth will push out the old ones.
Does wiggling the baby teeth hurt her?
I would probably take her to a pedi dentist for x-rays & extraction of those baby teeth...to help ensure the new teeth plenty of room to grow in straight from the get go.

Only one of her teeth in the front is loose. I'm going to call tomorrow..the new ones are pretty far behind the baby teeth.
Yep...pedodontist time ! Could be a crowding issue...he might take them out and see if the lowers move forward on their own... may need an arch expander later.
It would be best to have a dentist look-this happened with several of my daughter's teeth. They only ended up actually pulling 2 of them out before they came out on their own. Sometimes new teeth come in quickly and baby teeth aren't lose enough to be pushed out of the way.
Hi Fudgey, thanks for asking...I called the dentist they can't get her in until the 24th. They 'said' it's normal and happens 'all the time'. If there's a problem they'll get her in in an emergency appointment..we'll see I guess.
Since they are saying it's pretty normal and didn't think it was an emergency that's good! The 24th seems like a long time to wait but it will go by faster than you think it will.
Is it bothering her at all?

...It does occur a lot....hang loose and see what their evaluation is...they may refer you to an orthodontist for a consult.
One of my daughter's teeth did this. Get her to wiggle it with her tongue. She'll loosen it quickly doing this. If in doubt, keep your appointment.
Their first available appointment is the 1st day of school, of course. I didn't want her to miss any of the 1st day so I took wed. She said they see it all the time....so will keep an eye on it and do lots of wiggling and apples.
