Milk Teeth
Teeth that start to appear around 6-9 months of age and are completed around 2.5-3 years of age are called “milk teeth” or “baby teeth”. There are 20 milk teeth in total. When the permanent first molars start to appear around age 6 and the lower front teeth start to shake almost simultaneously, the period we call “mixed dentition” begins. Generally, all milk teeth have changed around age 11-12. The times when teeth come out and change can vary by +/- 6 months.

Procedure
Milk teeth are primarily important for nutrition, as are permanent teeth. Milk teeth are of great importance for chewing, nutrition and therefore growth and development. One of the most important functions of milk teeth is to act as placeholders for the permanent teeth that will come underneath. It is very important for milk teeth to be complete so that the teeth that will come underneath can line up properly.

Milk Teeth Follow-up

For a child who is just learning to talk, being able to pronounce letters correctly and speak properly is possible thanks to milk teeth.
Early loss of front baby teeth due to decay at an early age or the black/brown appearance due to decay can affect the psychology of children, especially those who have just started school and are just starting to make friends.
