Why should they be filled if they are just going to fall out in a few years? A: Children’s teeth are very important to the health of the child and the development of the dental jaw, and forming permanent teeth. Baby teeth not only give the child chewing function and cute esthetics, but also serve an important role in the formation of the jaw. Premature loss of primary teeth can adversely affect the jaw growth, position and timing of the eruption of permanent teeth, and if badly decayed or infected, be a source of pain, sickness, and risk to other teeth. Please have your dentist evaluate your child’s “baby teeth.” JEFFREY M.
