Why Baby Teeth Need Care
They help children chew food, speak clearly, and hold the correct space in the jaw for permanent adult teeth. Leaving cavities or infections untreated can cause severe pain, spread bacteria to developing adult teeth underneath, and lead to crooked teeth or expensive braces later.
Moreover, most of the baby teeth fall out age of 12 and it is very important to treat those young age children teeth with cavities before they develop to dental abscess or swelling
