Think baby teeth don't matter much since they'll fall out anyway? Here's why they do.

Primary teeth help children chew properly, support facial structure and jaw development, and play a role in speech. They also hold space in the jaw for permanent teeth developing underneath. When a baby tooth is lost too early, nearby teeth can shift into the gap, sometimes leading to crowding down the road.

Untreated decay in baby teeth can lead to:
- Infection spreading to surrounding teeth and tissue
- Early tooth loss and shifting alignment
- A harder time with future dental visits
- The need for more involved restorations later

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends a first dental visit by a child's first birthday, even with just a tooth or two in. Early visits are short, gentle, and help kids get comfortable with the dentist before any real work is needed.

At All Star Kidz Pediatrics, Dr. Christopher Lamb makes it his goal for every child to leave liking the dentist. We serve families across Las Vegas, Henderson, Summerlin, and Centennial Hills. Schedule an appointment to get your child's dental health off to a strong start. 702-463-0559

How To Spot A Cavity In Your Child
How can you tell if your child has a cavity? Here's what to watch for. Many early cavities cause little to
no pain, so it helps to know the signs beyond a complaint. Roughly half of all children aged 6 to 9 have
had at least one decayed, filled, or missing tooth, according to CDC data.
Watch for:
- Tooth sensitivity to cold, hot, or sweet foods
- Visible white, brown, or black spots on a tooth
- Holes, pits, or rough texture
- Persistent dark staining that doesn't brush away
- Pain when chewing or reluctance to eat on one side
Baby teeth are worth treating even though they'll eventually fall out. Untreated decay can spread, and
losing a baby tooth too early can disrupt how permanent teeth come in.
At All Star Kidz Pediatrics, Dr. Christopher Lamb is a board-certified Diplomate of the American Board of
Pediatric Dentistry, the highest level of certification a pediatric dentist can earn. If you've noticed any of
these signs, or your child is due for a checkup, reach out to schedule an appointment.
