More Than Just a Placeholder
It's a common misconception that since primary teeth (milk teeth) eventually fall out, they don't need much care. However, these tiny teeth play a massive role in your child's physical, emotional, and social development.
1. Esthetics & Self-Esteem
A healthy, bright smile helps children feel good about themselves. Decayed or missing teeth can make children self-conscious, impacting their social interactions and confidence at school.
2. Mastication (Chewing)
Strong teeth are essential for proper nutrition. Children with cavities often experience pain while eating, leading them to avoid healthy, crunchy foods like vegetables. A full set of healthy teeth ensures they can chew thoroughly and digest food properly.
3. Speech Development
Teeth are vital for speech. They work with the tongue and lips to form sounds. Premature loss of front teeth can lead to speech difficulties or lisps that may require therapy to correct later.
4. Facial Development & Jaw Growth
Chewing provides the necessary exercise for jaw muscles and bone growth. Healthy teeth ensure the jaw develops symmetrically and maintains the correct vertical height of the face.
