A member asked:
What is the definition or description of: early loss of baby teeth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Master plan: After millions of years of evolution mother nature has created a time-table for both the eruption and loss of baby teeth, and the eruption of permanent teeth. If a baby tooth is lost prematurely it can adversely affect arch alignment and the eruptive process of the underlying permanent tooth, increasing the probability that your child may need braces. Please discuss this with your Dentist.
