Caring for Baby Teeth is Important
Many parents think it’s unnecessary to fix cavities on baby teeth since they will eventually fall out. However, baby teeth play a significant role in the overall growth and development of your child. They ensure your child can consume a healthy diet and chew properly. They also contribute to speech development, phonetics and pronunciations of syllables. But most importantly, it’s what makes your child’s smile so special.
Even though baby teeth fall out naturally as your child grows up, premature tooth loss can cause oral development issues. If your child loses one or more baby teeth too early, their permanent teeth may not emerge properly, leading to developmental issues that may require orthodontic intervention in the future.
