How does a baby tooth help a permanent tooth?
The most important thing primary (deciduous or baby) teeth do for the succedaneous (adult) teeth is maintain space.When primary teeth are prematurely lost, the teeth (or tooth) posterior to the lost tooth migrate toward the front and midline. At the same time the opposing teeth, that is the teeth in the opposing arch (uppers for lowers and vice versa) super erupt into the empty space. As a result of this movement, a primary tooth that is lost too soon may exacerbate, or result in, crowding and a bad bite (malocclusion) if the space previously occupied by the tooth is not otherwise maintained.On the other hand, sometimes primary teeth do not exfoliate when they should. In this case, the primary tooth may actually cause problems because the succedaneous tooth can't go where it needs to go.Word to the wise: Do not extract your child's baby teeth! Leave that for the dentist. Don't be fooled, there is much that can go wrong and it may impact your child for the rest of his/her life.
