Deciduous Teeth
Deciduous teeth are also known as milk teeth, baby teeth and temporary teeth. They are the primary arrangement of teeth in the growth development of humans and other diphyodont mammals. They develop during the embryonic stage of development and erupt that is, they become visible in the mouth during infancy or early stages. They are generally lost and replaced by permanent teeth, but they can remain functional for many years in the absence of permanent replacements. Primary teeth are very essential in the development of the mouth. The primary teeth helps in maintaining the arch length within the jaw, the bone and the permanent teeth replacements develop from the same tooth germs as the primary teeth. The primary teeth provide guides for the eruption pathway of the permanent teeth. Also the muscles of the jaw and the formation of the jaw bones depend on the primary teeth to maintain appropriate spacing for permanent teeth.
