Milk Teeth

Baby teeth are the first teeth that children develop. They begin to erupt in babies around 6-8 months of age. In total, the child has 20 milk teeth - 5 on each jaw.

Baby teeth differ from permanent teeth in size - they are smaller, and in color - they are usually whiter. In addition, baby teeth have thinner enamel and less developed roots.

Primary teeth perform important functions in a child's development. They allow the child to chew food and are also necessary for the correct formation of speech. In addition, baby teeth take up space in the jaw for the subsequent eruption of permanent teeth.

As a child grows, baby teeth gradually fall out, giving way to permanent teeth. Complete replacement of primary teeth occurs between the ages of 6 and 13 years. Taking care of baby teeth is of great importance for the health of a child's future permanent teeth.

Milk teeth in young children are the first set of teeth that appear in a child between the ages of 6 and 12 months. They are used for chewing and grinding food, as well as for forming a correct bite.

Milk teeth have a number of features:

1. They are thinner and more fragile than permanent teeth.
2. They may fall out earlier than permanent ones.
3. They can have different shapes and sizes.
4. They can have different colors.

Even though baby teeth are less durable, they play an important role in a child’s development and health. They help the child eat properly and develop chewing muscles. In addition, baby teeth serve to protect permanent teeth from damage.

However, if baby teeth fall out prematurely, this can lead to various problems. For example, the child may experience pain when chewing and may not be able to feed normally. It can also lead to abnormal development of the jaw and teeth.

To avoid dental problems, you need to monitor their health and visit the dentist regularly. The doctor will be able to determine if there are problems with your teeth and give recommendations on how to care for them.

**Baby teeth** are the first teeth that appear in young children between the ages of 5 and 18 months. They are not permanent, and as the child grows, they gradually fall out, being replaced by new, stronger and bacteria-resistant teeth.

The formation of primary teeth occurs as a result of the growth and development of the jaw bone and gums. Infants and children at this stage most often have missing teeth. Instead, in place of future teeth there are rudiments of tooth enamel, covered with a mucous membrane. They begin to grow when sources of mineralization appear - roughly speaking, when food containing minerals enters the child’s body.

Baby teeth can be of different colors, shapes and sizes. Typically, children have six to twelve primary teeth in each jaw. However, the number of teeth may vary depending on
