Failure /Delayed exfoliation of primary teeth(baby) can be caused due to various reasons

Best way to find out what is the cause is to get a dental check up done.
Usually milk teeth fall by 12–13 years, but sometimes they stay longer if the permanent tooth underneath is missing, stuck, or coming in slowly. Don’t worry—it’s not harmful right now, but we should take an X-ray to check if your permanent teeth are present. If they are there, we can help them come out by removing the milk tooth if needed. If a permanent tooth is missing, then we’ll plan the best treatment so that your smile and chewing stay perfect.
