Get to the vet, This is what I know about dogs teeth, I assume it's the same with cats

Normally the deciduous tooth's root is reabsorbed making room for an adult tooth. Should this fail, the adult tooth may deviate from its normal position, producing malocclusion. The resulting double set of teeth overcrowds the dental arch, causing food to become trapped between the teeth, leading to early periodontal disease. A double set of roots may also prevent normal development of the socket and erode periodontal support around the adult tooth, resulting in early tooth loss. A retained deciduous tooth should be extracted as soon as an adult tooth is noted in the same area as the baby tooth. If extraction is performed early, the abnormally positioned adult tooth usually moves to its normal location.

Sorry it took so long for an answer I thought someone that knows about cats would've answered...but I hope this helps. ~/:\~
