should they be filled if
they are just going to fall

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.”
