The deciduous teeth contain more of soft organic matter & less of calcified or hard tissue, a child's teeth are always more prone to caries or cavities. A child is often given milk by a feeding bottle while he's sleeping or he's breastfed till he sleeps leaving the milk to pool & curdle in the mouth. This leads caries or cavities in his upper front teeth, a condition called nursing bottle caries. This can further progress to involve more & more teeth if not well taken care of. 

a child with good milk teeth not only looks cute, he learns to speak well too. Where the back teeth for the child are important for chewing, maintaining space for permanent teeth,

as well as for the growth of the jaw bones & muscles, the front teeth are more for biting, lip support, for looks & for development of the right speech.
