Detailed explanation-1: -It’s very important that this first set of teeth remains intact and healthy because they essentially set the stage for what the permanent teeth will be like. Damaged baby teeth may yield damaged permanent teeth.
Detailed explanation-2: -Overview. It’s important to keep your child’s first teeth-or baby teeth-healthy. Baby teeth hold space for adult teeth. Taking care of your child’s teeth will protect them from tooth decay (cavities).
Detailed explanation-3: -This hypodontia is one of the most common developmental abnormalities in dentistry, with up to 20% of all adults missing at least one tooth. When children have a congenitally missing baby tooth, there generally will not be a permanent tooth developing in the gums underneath it either.
Detailed explanation-4: -For most children, all baby teeth will fall out by early adolescence and be replaced by permanent adult teeth; by age 21, most permanent teeth should be present in the mouth. Occasionally, though, some baby teeth never fall out, and for this reason, an adult tooth cannot replace it.
