Have you ever wondered why it’s so important to take care of your children’s teeth at a young age? Baby teeth are there for a reason and you will want to take care of them just like you would permanant teeth.
Some may question the importance of maintaining baby teeth when they will eventually fall out. It’s actually very important to save the baby teeth because they are needed for the development of the jaw and they also hold the place for the permanent teeth. More importantly, baby teeth are necessary for speaking and eating.
It’s very important to keep up with your children’s dental work. If they need sealants, fillings, or a pulpotomy (baby root canal) you should always follow your dentist’s recommendation!
