BABY TEETH ARE IMPORTANT --

         

           Baby teeth are very important for your child's health right now and in their future also.
Baby teeth helps child to chew food and speak. 
                                            And baby teeth guides child’s adult teeth to come in its position  by holding a space for them. If your baby loses a tooth too early, then adjacent teeth may drift into the empty space, making less space for adult teeth to come in later. This can lead to a crooked teeth or crowded smile.

CONCLUSION:

 The gap in baby’s teeth will close naturally. However, there are some uncommon incidents in which the gap persists in child’s adult teeth. So that visit the dentist within 6 months after your baby’s first tooth comes in. This helps to identify the main cause of gaps between teeth.
