Parents often tend to think of their child’s baby teeth as a trivial inconvenience as they will fall out after a couple of years. This, however, is a mistake as these primary teeth play a pivotal role in what comes afterwards. These early molars are important as they:
- Fix the position for emerging permanent teeth
- Pass on dental conditions (weak enamel, decay)
- Determine developing chewing, eating and speaking habits
Keeping your child’s baby teeth healthy and free of decay is vital for avoiding later problems — and a dentist should be consulted as soon as the first baby tooth appears.
