Hi. Please never ever think of extractions of milk teeth because they provide guidance to the eruption of permanent teeth. Otherwise the permanent teeth will not come in position. There are various other options for the treatment of milk teeth. Please visit a pedodontist (pediatric dentist). You can Lybrate consult us for private consultations.

Milk teeth is replaced by permanent teeth from 6- 12 years. So its not wise to extract them so early. This will leads to uneven eruption of permanent teeth. Preserve them until they fall out naturally in their shedding time. Get out all cavity teeth treated by filling and pulpectomy if necessary.

Dear lybrate-user, permanent teeth starts to erupt at around age of 6 years. You should take your daughter to dentist for proper checkup. As a rule we should try to protect the milk tooth till the time permanent tooth erupts. But the decision whether to extract the decayed milk tooth or not will depend on the clinical and radiographic condition of the tooth. Sometimes if the infection spreads, then its becomes essential to extract the tooth and give space maintainer if required. For more info you can contact us through private consultation on Lybrate.
