Some parents may have a misconception that when the child’s milk molar tooth is decayed, it should be removed, even at the early stage, way before the eruption of replacement permanent tooth. They thought that once the milk tooth is extracted, it will be replaced by the eruption of new permanent tooth.
In fact milk molar teeth should not be extracted way before the replacement permanent tooth erupts, as this may cause crowding or “malalignment” of permanent teeth. Malalignment means the displacement of a tooth or teeth from a normal position in the dental arch.
