Baby teeth may be temporary, but they still need to be taken seriously. 🦷
It can be easy to think, “They’re just baby teeth. They’re going to fall out anyway.” But primary teeth play an important role in your child’s development. They help children chew and speak properly, and they hold space for their permanent teeth to come in.
When a child has tooth decay, putting off recommended treatment can allow the problem to progress. Untreated decay can lead to pain or infection and can make it harder for a child to eat, sleep, play, learn, and simply feel their best.
If your child has recommended dental treatment that hasn’t been completed yet, please don’t wait until it hurts to take action. Getting treatment taken care of now can help protect your child’s oral health and keep small problems from becoming bigger ones.
