The Average Cost of Braces for Kids
When your baby gets her first tooth, it’s a milestone worthy of a celebration. But when she gets older and your dentist recommends braces, perhaps because of an overbite, crooked or crowded teeth, you might need to brace yourself literally for some sticker shock. Braces are expensive, and even if you have dental insurance, it may not cover much of the cost.
What Age Do Kids Lose Their Baby Teeth?
Teething is an important part of childhood development. Infants use their sensitive oral faculties to explore their environment and will gum and chew any object they can fit into their mouths. Primary teeth, sometimes referred to as baby teeth, are essential for helping children chew their food and learn to speak. Baby teeth also serve as a placeholder of sorts for the permanent teeth that will emerge later.
The Order In Which Baby Teeth Appear
Even though baby teeth aren’t permanent fixtures in your child’s mouth, they serve many functions. Baby teeth give her face structure and enable the jaws to process food, helping her take in adequate nutrition and learn how to pronounce words. Baby teeth appear in a specific order in your child’s mouth, usually before the tenth month of life.

However, most people who think they have an allergic reaction to fragrances actually don’t, although they may be sensitive to the chemicals in the fragrance itself.
