Are baby teeth important?

Our children’s dentist in Colorado Springs, CO places an important emphasis on baby teeth

Even though baby teeth will eventually be lost, they have several important functions. Baby teeth help your child develop proper speech and chewing habits. This assists them with early socialization and digestion.

Additionally, baby teeth act as placeholders for adult teeth. A baby tooth lost too soon may prompt your Colorado Springs, CO dentist to use a placeholder to ensure proper eruption of the adult tooth later.

Baby teeth are also where your child first develops good brushing habits, preparing him to take great care of their adult teeth later.
