“Early Loss of Baby Teeth — Don’t Ignore It.”
Many parents think losing baby teeth early is harmless.
But premature loss can seriously affect jaw growth and the alignment of future permanent teeth.
🔍 Why Do Baby Teeth Fall Out Early?
✔️ Untreated cavities
✔️ Trauma or accidental injury
✔️ Gum infection
✔️ Weak enamel
✔️ Grinding habits
✔️ Structural issues in the mouth
🚨 Why Premature Tooth Loss Is a Problem
When a baby tooth falls out too soon:
⚠️ Neighbouring teeth drift into the empty space
⚠️ Permanent tooth loses its natural path of eruption
⚠️ Leads to crowding, misaligned teeth & bite problems
⚠️ May require longer orthodontic treatment later
⭐ The Solution: Space Maintainers
A simple, painless orthodontic appliance can:
✔️ Keep the space open
✔️ Guide the permanent tooth into correct position
✔️ Prevent future crowding & costly treatments
✔️ Protect natural jaw development
Early action → Perfect alignment later.
