Why we do Extract a Milk tooth?
Due to following reasons:
1) Severe decay
2) If it is hindering the eruption of premanent tooth
3) infection
4) Over-retained milk tooth posing esthetic and functional issues.
Milk teeth are crucial for a child's overall development, impacting their nutrition, speech, facial structure, and even their self-esteem. They act as placeholders for permanent teeth, help with chewing and eating, and contribute to proper speech development.
Hence it is imperative to preserve them till the permanent teeth erupt into their correct position otherwise it may lead to crowding, tilting, malpositioning and impaction of permanent teeth which in turn may necessitate orthodontic correction using braces or aligners.
