This is a very dangerous delusion, which subsequently leads to serious problems with the permanent teeth and health of the child as a whole. For example, dentistry( the Riga Metro) approaches each case individually and prevents complications in the future.

The milk tooth has cut through, caries has developed in it, the problem passes already to the pulp and to the root of the tooth.

This means that the infection begins to enter the embryo of the root of the tooth into the root that has not yet been formed, and to remove the infection from it completely, contributing to the fact that the root has developed normally, most often it does not work out - it all ends with the removal of the milk tooth.

Dental hygiene is simply necessary, proceeding from the fact that 90% of all children in Russia have problems with dental health, for the reason that parents do not brush their teeth.
