Do Children Have False Teeth?

False teeth for your child may seem strange because false teeth or dentures are often reserved for adults. However, we can replace your child’s lost or knocked-out baby teeth permanently.

Space maintainers can be made out of fake baby teeth. The primary goal of a space maintainer is to preserve the space left by missing primary teeth while also preventing crooked and inappropriate positioning of permanent teeth that may erupt later. If the missing baby tooth is in the front, you might ask your child’s dentist for a fake baby tooth instead of securing a space maintainer.

Permanent teeth normally begin to erupt around the age of seven. What if your child lost his front teeth when he was 3 to 5 years old? The consequences of losing a baby’s front teeth might differ.

Some children are unconcerned, while others are concerned about their toothless appearance, which may cause them to feel self-conscious or fear that their playmates or classmates will tease them.
