Why should baby teeth be fixed if they are eventually going to be lost?
Some baby teeth, like the canines and primary molars, are not loss until eleven or twelve years of age, so their presence is vital to the integrity and development of the dental arch. Premature losss can result in future developmental issues and complicate orthodontic outcomes. In the meanwhile, long-standing cavities/infections in untreated primary teeth may result in damaging the esthetics of the developing permanent tooth.
