Is it necessary for a 12 year old kid to have her milk teeth removed

Q. I have asked this query yesterday and i’m hoping that you could help me with it. Is it necessary for a 12 year old kid to have her milk teeth removed to give way to permanent teeth? She still have several milk teeth and she’s already 12, so i’m a bit worried. Thanks very much for your help

A. Normally the permanent teeth push the bay teeth teeth out naturally but id the permanent teeth have grown away from the baby teeth they may need to be removed.
