Why do teeth set crowns?

So, why transfer money and energy to care for such teeth. Moreover, the advice of dentists to install a special crown on a baby's teeth is not perceived.

If to deny them this, then in the near future the baby can have a wide variety of problems: difficulties with erupting permanent teeth, their improper growth( various shifts, turns, collisions with each other), the inability to properly chew solid foods, which can lead todiseases of the gastrointestinal tract, violations of diction.

If we allow the development of all these problems, then in the near future we will have to spend a lot of money, time and effort to correct them.
