Permanent teeth begin to emerge around the age of 6. These teeth begin to develop under the milk teeth and emerge following the position of the milk tooth. Milk teeth ‘hold the place’ of the permanent teeth until they are ready to emerge. When a diseased milk tooth is not treated and removed, the teeth next to it begin to approach, losing the balance of the primary positions of the milk teeth, leading to an incorrect and crooked eruption of the permanent teeth. This disrupts the aesthetics and function of the teeth and jaws. Parents sometimes neglect the importance of milk teeth based on the idea that they will be replaced soon, but by saving on fillings of milk teeth, you will pay more for the placement of wires that your child will need later.
