milk teeth are very important but they are likely to fall..so take it easy...they are replaced by permanent teeth..milk teeth are permanent till the time they don't fall..
never take it easy, early falling of milk tooth causes crowding of permanent tooth which might require orthodontic correction in later stage and cavities in milk tooth causes problems in eruption of permanent tooth or cavities (infection) might spread to permanent tooth so always make sure brush twice a day, keep gum and tongue clean, always make sure no milk stays in the mouth at night (bottle or breast fed) so that it doesn't cause cavities

Milk teeth also called as Deciduous teeth, there are about 20 teeth by age 2.5. Generally replaced by 32 permanent teeth by age of 6. Caring baby teeth is one of utmost importance, Use a clean baby towel with warm water to rub each tooth. One cab rub to clean gums, too.
Offer child chew on a cold, wet towel. This can soothe teething soreness.

Milk teeth are those which erupts with nutrients from mother's milk. they get calcium from the milk. their care is important because they are building blocks for the permanent teeth. Upto the age of 3, it is important to fed your child with sufficient calcium and other nutrients to give gums actual support for the future teeth. Also cleaning of teeth is necessary to prevent any caries. Avoid more salty and sweets. avoid junk foods at this age. give homemade nutritious food to the little one

Hii all. Milk teeth are very important. Special care should be taken of milk teeth. otherwise it can be a cause n to cavities.Brush teeth twice, sweets should not be eaten. Teeths should be brushed with soft infant tooth brushes. Take proper care. milk solid food should be given to babies. Milk teeth are more stronger and helpful. babies meal should be healthy for teeth and hence teeth remain healthy and stronger and zero chances of cavities.
Nice information ma'am

Babies first teeth are very much important as they are the primary teeth of baby and they place a very important role in oral development of babies mouth region.
Atmost care should be taken of the babies first teeth when they usually come out.
These milk teeth are fully rich in calcium as the babies source of nutrition is mother’s milk.
