A member asked:
Can you tell me if you pull out your baby teeth will it make your permanent teeth grow through faster?

Yes: If the permanent tooth is already soon to erupt. If too soon, extraction of the baby tooth could cause a permanent tooth to become impacted.

See Orthodontist: Removal of baby tooth before root of permanent tooth is 2/3 formed can slow eruption of permanent tooth. Baby tooth extraction after permanent tooth 2/3 formed will enhance eruption. Before doing anything irreversible consult with an orthodontist, a dento-facial growth and development specialist.
