Humans start teething when they are as young as 6 months old and develop their set of primary ‘milk’ teeth.

At the age of 6-7 years, humans start losing their milk teeth and a permanent set of teeth start emerging. Because the milk teeth will eventually fall off, some parents tend to ignore taking their child to a dentist. When this part gets infected by bacteria, and the infection is allowed to grow unchecked, it eventually destroys the pulp and also spreads to the root of the Tooth, which can result in severe tooth decay, and ultimately the removal of the tooth to stop the infection from spreading to other teeth in close vicinity.
