1. Effect on nutrition
Baby teeth help the baby chew food well, ensure nutrition for the child’s development in the early years of life.
Early loss of baby teeth reduces chewing power, leading to nutritional implications.

2. Effects on permanent teeth

?  As in the first half of the video illustration, underneath the milk teeth are permanent ones. At the right time scheduled by nature, the permanent tooth will pop out, destroy the root of the baby tooth and replace its position.

?  The process of permanent teething has been “pre-programmed”, so if the baby teeth are lost too early, the permanent teeth will not appear immediately to replace the milk ones. (Parents can follow teething time in the upper right corner of the clip)

?  If the baby tooth is lost many years before the permanent tooth erupts, the adjacent tooth will be tilted in, taking the place of that one, leading to a condition where the beneath tooth has to be outward or deviated in, or cannot grow.

?  If this is the case, the doctor will make a space maintainer to hold that space for the permanent tooth that has not yet grown. This treatment is still helpful, but can be uncomfortable for the baby, increasing the risk of cavities and cost. So, parents should pay attention to take care of the baby’s teeth to avoid this situation from happening.
