IMPORTANCE OF MILK TEETH

Milk teeth begin to erupt on average in the 6th month and complete their eruption in the 30th month.

Permanent teeth begin to erupt at an average age of 6 years

The deciduous teeth are very important because they provide the necessary space for the permanent teeth to avoid crowding and guide the permanent teeth during their eruption. For these reasons, they should be protected until the time of normal shaking and falling and treated if necessary.

Contrary to popular belief, milk teeth are very important. They are important for proper nutrition, aesthetics and phonation (correct extraction of letters when speaking) and normal development of the jawbone and muscles.
