Helo,
Thanks for consulting HCM
Read your query ,as you have primary tooth dont worry if your primary teeth had mobility , caries or decaying then go for removal of primary teeth , and if you go for removal of teeth then gap can be filled by fixed partial bridge .
Hope this will help you.

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The deciduous teeth will not stay for long period of time because the roots of them will be very short. Once the milk teeth start shaking then you get them removed and replace them with a fixed prosthesis by bridge or an implant prosthesis. Nothing to worry about the function. Once you get these teeth replaced you can have normal chewing function.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
