Milk teeth or deciduous teeth are the first set of teeth that erupt soon after birth. They are also known as primary teeth. They are 20 in number and fall off between the age of 6 to 10 years. They differ from permanent teeth in many ways. They are small and whiter with short roots. They are more prone to caries due to the sugary diet of children, prolonged bottle feeding, and poor oral hygiene. Proper care must be taken to keep them caries-free as it may affect the developing permanent tooth bud.
