Not only pronunciation the child will have hinderness towards social interactions. This will affect their confidence and self esteem.This is very important during the growing period.

So the damaged tooth has to be restored in any case as they act as a natural space maintainer. If the milk tooth has been removed early than its life, there are more chances of the neighboring teeth to drift into this space and block the way and the underlying permanent teeth can’t find room to come in. This will make the permanent tooth erupt in different positions making the teeth crooked and mal aligned. When we mess up with nature, then this will necessitate clip treatment later.
