Yes, deciduous teeth are very important. They "provide the eruption path" for the permanant teeth to follow. They also act as space maintainers as teeth naturally move forward in the absence of an adjacent tooth. Also the eruption of permanent may be delayed if deciduous teeth are extracted much early than their shedding time.
