They Are Worth More Than The Tooth Fairy Pays!

Tuesday, June 17, 2008

The importance of baby teeth are not always stressed to parents. Yes baby teeth provide our children with beautiful smiles and they are for chewing food. But their importance lies in that they maintain space in the jaw for the permanent adult teeth to erupt. Premature loss of a baby tooth can lead to crowded teeth which may then require braces to correct the problem.
Yes our children will lose those precious baby teeth eventually. In the meanwhile brush those pearly whites, watch the sugar content in the beverages they drink and make sure that they begin their dental visits by at least the age of 3.
Should you or your child need an appointment with our office please call and ask for Faith or Lea and they will assist you to find a time that is mutual beneficial.
