Losing baby teeth early can be a problem, therefore, because the other teeth may shift position and cause the adult teeth to grow in crooked. Baby teeth also help with proper speech development.<\/p>    <p>Sadly, child tooth decay is <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"still a big problem (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.telegraph.co.uk\/news\/2019\/03\/06\/105-children-day-having-rotten-teeth-taken-hospital\/\" target=\"_blank\">still a big problem<\/a> in the UK, with over 100 children being admitted to hospital for tooth extractions every day. 2.4% of children in England have had a rotten baby tooth extracted by age five, according to <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"a report (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/assets.publishing.service.gov.uk\/government\/uploads\/system\/uploads\/attachment_data\/file\/768368\/NDEP_for_England_OH_Survey_5yr_2017_Report.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">a report<\/a> from Public Health England.<\/p>    <p>Another reason for losing baby teeth early is trauma; accidents can happen at any time and cause a tooth to be knocked out or damaged beyond repair.<\/p>    <p>Although less common, there are some medical conditions which can cause teeth to fall out early. If your child loses a tooth before age 4, not because of trauma or decay, then you should take them to the dentist.<\/p>    <p>When a baby tooth is lost early, whatever the reason, the dentist may decide to insert a space maintainer. This is a small device made from acrylic or metal which stops the two neighbouring teeth from moving into the gap left by the missing baby tooth. This reduces the chances of alignment problems with the adult teeth.<\/p>    <h2 id=\"brushing-baby-teeth\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Brushing baby teeth<\/h2>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When to start brushing baby&#8217;s teeth<\/h3>   <div class=\"wp-block-image\"> <figure class=\"alignleft size-medium\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/01\/Baby-brushing-teeth-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"brushing milk teeth\" class=\"wp-image-10314\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/01\/Baby-brushing-teeth-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/01\/Baby-brushing-teeth-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/01\/Baby-brushing-teeth-768x769.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/01\/Baby-brushing-teeth.jpg 999w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Get them used to a toothbrush early on<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>   <p>If you&#8217;re wondering when to start brushing baby&#8217;s teeth, the answer is simple: <strong>as soon as the first baby tooth appears<\/strong>.

Let them watch you brushing your teeth, and try singing a song or turning it into a game to make it more fun for them. Don&#8217;t worry if you aren&#8217;t able to follow this full routine at first, but keep trying until you baby is used to having their teeth brushed.<\/p>    <p>Brushing your baby&#8217;s teeth is only part of the picture when it comes to keeping them in good condition.

Even if they have just a couple of baby teeth showing, the dentist will check their teeth and gums and will be able to answer any questions you have. At some point, your dentist may recommend <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/babies-children\/fluoride-varnish\/\" target=\"_blank\">applying fluoride varnish<\/a> to add an extra layer of protection to your child&#8217;s milk teeth. <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/babies-children\/fissure-sealant\/\" target=\"_blank\">Dental sealant<\/a> can also help prevent decay on teeth with deep pits and fissures.<\/p>    <p>Children who visit an NHS dentist will receive <strong>free checkups and treatment up to age 18<\/strong>, so make sure you take advantage of this. <\/p>    <p>Keep taking your child for regular dental checkups, as advised by their dentist, even if you think their teeth are healthy. It&#8217;s good for them to get used to dental visits so they don&#8217;t mind going when they&#8217;re older. Plus, if there are any potential problems, the dentist will be able to spot and treat them early on &#8211; much better than waiting until they become a real issue for your child. If you need help finding an NHS dentist, read our article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/dental-services\/find-nhs-dentist\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"33542\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>. <\/p>    <h2 id=\"conclusion\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>    <p><strong>Deciduous teeth play an important part<\/strong> in your child&#8217;s development, and you have a big part to play in keeping those teeth healthy. We hope this article has answered all your questions about baby teeth order, how many milk teeth to expect, and when they appear. <\/p>    <p>You&#8217;ve read about how to brush baby teeth, although putting it into practice can be tricky. Keep persevering, because without proper brushing, decay can develop. If you&#8217;re concerned about anything relating to your child&#8217;s teeth, take them for a dental checkup. It may be nothing serious, but better safe than sorry when it comes to dental health.<\/p> <div class=\"socials_share\"><ul class=\"share-buttons\">     <li class=\"share_item share_item-facebook\">
