Commonly Parents Ask,
Why should we worry about cavities in baby teeth
when these teeth will be replaced by permanent teeth
later ? Parents should be extemely concerened about the
health of their child's baby teeth and dental health in
general because neglect or inattention can cause severe
problems now and in the future.
It is important to make sure that even these
"temporary" baby teeth remain healthy and cavity free
because baby teeth serve several important
functions:
They serve as spacers which maintain the
proper spacing and alignment of the teeth so that
permanent teeth have enough room to come
in.
They are important in helping the baby learn
how to speak and talk properly.
Healthy and nice looking teeth are important
in building self-confidence and self-esteem. This is
especially important at such an early age.
