Baby teeth are not permanent and they are in the mouth for some time . The teeth erupts at around six months of age and the baby teeth are all erupt at 2-3 years of age and will not fall out until 12-13 years of age. The baby teeth become more important in the eruption of permanent teeth. Baby teeth play a crucial role in helping kids learn to speak and chew food for nourishment, but they also save space for their adult teeth. This is why, if your child has a badly decayed primary tooth, a stainless steel crown may be the best solution. The baby teeth are a bit different than permanent teeth in that the enamel layer isn't as thick, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), and the inner pulp portion – which consists of blood vessels and nerves – is larger and much nearer to the surface. Decay can therefore spread through the enamel and affect the pulp much more quickly than in a permanent tooth. For this reason, at the first sign of a small cavity, your dentist will want to repair it with a filling and avoid the need for more complex treatment.
keeping the baby teeth healthy until they fall out naturally helps the permanent teeth grow into their proper position, reducing the chances that they'll need extensive orthodontic treatment later.
