Why are child’s primary teeth important?
A child’s primary teeth “baby teeth,” are as important as the permanent teeth “adult teeth.” Baby teeth help children chew and speak. They also hold space in the jaws for their subsequent adult teeth that are developing under the gum. If a baby tooth is lost too early, the adjacent baby teeth drift into the empty space. When it’s time for the adult teeth to erupt, there may not be enough room. This can make the teeth crooked or crowded (Misaligned).
