If it's a milk tooth for a missing permanent tooth then we can preserve the teeth with appropriate treatment( filling, root canal treatment etc) till it can survive but if this milk tooth is a retained one with the permanent tooth coexisting, then there is no point preserving it as it must have caused unnecessary malocclusion already. The best treatment plan however can be provided only after thorough examination.
