Answers:
They are a lil bit weaker and shorter than a primary tooth!. Its stronger than a tooth that has a succedaneous tooth b/c its doesnt have a tooth pushing it!. You will have this tooth many years as long as you take care of it!. I have seen them build up every nice before!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Short answer is yes!. But you need to be aware of a few things!.
Baby teeth are much shorter and weeker teeth!. So the long term prognosis is poor!.

The good news is that I have seen baby teeth last well into the late forties early fifties!. We are all different!.

See a good dentist that you are comfortable with!. If they can build the tooth up with bonding material, it will still be a little pricey!. Maybe $300 here in Texas!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I'm 20 years old and still have a baby tooth, but I have a tooth behind it!. I chose not to have braces!. I would just leave it alone and deal w/problems as they come!. My dentist told me that he saw a woman in her 60's who still had her baby tooth!. If it falls out, u can get an implant, but they r expensive!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Call around to see if any dentist offices can give you a free consultation if you do not have insurance!. If you do -- you should see a dentist! They would need to see the tooth most likely!.!.!. They usually fill the tooth!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
