“They’re going to fall out anyway.”
This is one of the most common misconceptions about baby teeth.
In reality, baby teeth play a vital role in supporting jaw and facial development, preserving space for permanent teeth, and helping children develop proper chewing and speech.
An untreated cavity in a baby tooth can do more than cause pain. It may lead to an infection that can affect the development of the permanent tooth beneath it.
That’s why baby teeth deserve the same care and regular dental check-ups as permanent teeth.
