  3. When a dental team has watched primary teeth develop and have kept an eye out for any possible problems, a child's needs are much more likely to be obvious to them just because of the familiarity with the patient. At about six years old primary teeth will start to loosen as the adult teeth form and erupt, it's a very important stage for monitoring dental spacing.
