Hello Mrs. Lawrence, The front teeth and all other teeth are deciduous[Milk teeth] and will fall eventually in course of time and replaced with permanent teeth but these teeth are very important from functional and aesthetics value hence they should retain in mouth till their exfoliation time. Prevent your child from frequent cold as the child breathes through the mouth causing dryness and deacay. Do not allow the child with the feeding bottle in mouth while sleeping, infact discourage the use of milk bottles. You will have to maintain her oral hygiene by cleaning with tooth brush and paste containing flouride and flouride application for new teeth that wiil emerge. Calcium Softies are available at chemist can be given 2 per day. These teeth can be covered with Lightcured composites under G A at any dental office
