Why baby teeth need treatment
They fall out anyway, so why treat them? Because decay in a milk tooth affects the permanent one below it.
A common belief is that baby teeth do not need treatment because they will be replaced. Bacteria in a decayed milk tooth can damage the bud of the permanent tooth and spread infection into the child's digestive and circulatory systems.
What baby teeth do
- Hold space for permanent teeth and guide them into position.
- Support chewing, speech development and the growth of the jaw.
- Losing them early can lead to crowding and bite problems later.
