Why Should We Seal Baby Teeth If They Will Be Replaced?

Baby teeth (primary teeth) play a crucial role in chewing and speaking. If they become affected by any condition, timely treatment is essential because it can lead to future problems with your child’s permanent teeth. Healthy baby teeth are an important link in your child’s overall health, as they contribute to the proper development of the jaws and the face as a whole. A child with good oral hygiene and a proper preventive dental care program grows up without pain, inflammation, or abscesses.

A baby tooth diagnosed with decay that is left untreated can develop into a bigger problem, such as the decay reaching the nerve, requiring more complex treatment, in other words, more time spent in the dental chair. Moreover, losing a damaged baby tooth prematurely can cause problems with the correct eruption of the permanent tooth.

Our children deserve to grow up with healthy, broad smiles! Let’s give that to them generously.
