Dental Insurance, dental care, keeping a baby tooth
I am a 30 year old with two baby teeth. My two eye teeth were never replaced with adult teeth. I therefore still have baby teeth there. I seen my dentist for my twice a year check up and my teeth are all free from cavities.
I am not bother by the fact that I still have baby teeth and I was told the only way to fix it is by having them pulled and by either getting implants or bridges put in. Is it okay to just keep the baby teeth until they become an issue if ever they do? Because my curent dental insurance does not cover for implants and there is no way I would get bridges put in.

There is an old saying: If it is not broken do not fix it. This saying is good for you in this case. If you do not have a problem with your current teeth and the dentist stating there is not current issues with them why have the pulled?
I would wait since it is not a issue to you and just make sure you do have the dentist continue to keep an eye on them. I hear that sometimes baby teeth can start to decay but wait until the dentist advise you of issues, where then you may need to rethink out what you want to do.

Well it seems right now you would only have to pull the baby teeth if you did not like the way they looked. The dentist will advise they even need to be pulled due to dental issues. I would not have the work done until I had not choice either.
