NO bottles in the crib! Baby teeth are going to fall out anyways. Why should we care about them? Primary teeth are important for providing guidance of permanent teeth into their correct position. Health of primary teeth can affect permanent ones, as well as speech development and appearance. So if my child has a cavity on a baby tooth, we really should have it filled? YES! Ignoring decay can result in severe pain and premature loss of the tooth. If the tooth is about to shed, your Doctor will advise on further treatment. Allowing children to hold the suction (or any safe instrument) helps remove anxiety. Also being in No Cavity Club, goody bag, prizes... <3
