Why are milk teeth lack premolars and molars?

Milk teeth, or primary teeth, lack premolars and molars because they are designed for a child's developmental needs. Typically, children have 20 primary teeth, which consist of incisors and canines, but they do not have premolars. As children grow, their primary teeth are replaced by permanent teeth, which include premolars and molars, allowing for better grinding and chewing of food as the jaw and dietary needs develop. This transition supports proper growth and function as children mature.
