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.
