Milk teeth, also called deciduous teeth or deciduous teeth, are the first teeth to develop in a child’s mouth. Babies are usually born without teeth, but the first teeth usually appear between 6 and 10 months of age.There are 20 deciduous teeth, 10  in the upper jaw and 10 in the lower jaw. Baby teeth usually fall out around  age  6 and are replaced by permanent teeth over the next few years.Milk teeth are important for several reasons. They help children chew  food, speak correctly, and create space in the jaw for  permanent teeth.

Baby teeth also play a role in the development of facial muscles and bone structure.It’s important to brush your baby’s teeth regularly with a soft-bristled toothbrush and a small amount of fluoride toothpaste. Children should also be kept away from sugary foods and drinks that can increase the risk of tooth decay.Regular dental checkups are important  to ensure that  baby teeth are developing properly and to identify and treat any dental problems that may occur. By taking care of baby teeth, parents can promote good oral hygiene and contribute to their child’s overall health and well-being.
