Baby teeth, milk teeth, temporary teeth, deciduous teeth – whatever we call them – are the first set of 20 teeth to appear in babies and younger children. Baby teeth are important in the development of permanent teeth as they provide the space needed for the eruption of permanent teeth. With proper care, baby teeth are expected to start falling out at age six and continue until the last baby tooth exfoliates at age twelve. While a general dentist may provide proper care, a pediatric dentist is especially trained to handle children and understands the eruption process. We at Kamala Dental Hospital are here to help you and your children have a better smile.
