During the seventh year the central milk incisors fall out and their place is taken by the permanent ones; the shed teeth are mere shells of the crown, all the root having been absorbed, though not, as might he thought, owing to direct pressure of the succeeding tooth.
These teeth only represent the crowns of mans teeth, and they are not embedded in sockets except in the case of the teeth in the saw of the saw-fish (Pristis); moreover the dentine of which they are largely composed resembles bone and fills up the whole pulp cavity.

Milk teeth, which are also known as primary or deciduous teeth, are nothing but the first set of teeth to erupt in a human being.
The first milk teeth erupt at the age of 6 months to one year of age and the lower front milk tooth erupts first.
The milk teeth need the same amount of dental care and treatment as the permanent teeth, in fact they need more dental attention as any infection or injury to the milk teeth affects the developing permanent teeth directly or indirectly.

 Childrens teeth
Decay of the primary teeth indicates that the child is susceptible to tooth decay and requires proper attention to maintain a healthy dentition.
If a milk tooth is lost much earlier than the scheduled time of eruption of the permanent successor, it is likely that space created by loss of the milk tooth will reduce or even close due to drifting of near by teeth.
Primary teeth that are accidentally knocked out are often not replaced because of risk that the primary tooth will fuse to the socket and require surgical extraction when the permanent tooth erupts.
