Why Baby Teeth Are So Important
Parents often wonder why they should put so much care into small teeth that will fall out in the future. The truth is that primary or baby teeth are essential to your child's oral development as they have a few important jobs to do before they fall out:
- Hold space and guide future incoming adult teeth
- Help your child form and speak their first words
- Introduce your little one to the joys of solid foods
If your child has a tooth emergency, don't hesitate to contact the caring dental team at Avondale Dental Centre.
