Your child’s baby teeth are important. Children need strong, healthy teeth to chew their food, speak and have a good looking smile.
Deciduous teeth also keep space in the jaw for the adult teeth. If a baby tooth is lost too early the teeth besides it may drift into the empty space, this would result in less room for the adult teeth to erupt. This can cause crowding of permanent teeth.
Milk teeth are very important as they have to last for about 5 years to 12 years until the permanent set of teeth erupt.
All the milk teeth erupt from the age of 6 months to the age of 3 years. Caring for milk teeth encourages good dental health and oral hygiene habits.
