Baby Teeth: Why They’re Important for Your Child’s Development
As a pediatric dentist, I’ve observed firsthand how baby teeth play a vital role in a child’s development. They don’t just help children learn to chew and speak correctly; they also serve as placeholders for permanent teeth and support the healthy growth of jawbones and facial muscles. By prioritizing early dental care, I can ensure that my young patients develop proper oral habits, reduce the risk of tooth decay, and maintain a foundation for a bright, confident smile in the future.
