Keep the baby tooth: If your daughter can keep the deciduous tooth clean and healthy she may be able to keep the tooth for a life time. If it ever lost as an adult she can always have an implant to replace it.

Ortho Consult: Dr. Gottlieb has given you great advice. But don't forget the importance of an orthodontic consultation. In many cases, congenitally missing teeth are hereditary and may involve more than one area. Proper treatment planning will definitely increase your options for suitable treatment in the event of losing the primary tooth. It never hurts to have a contingency plan.
