Even though they eventually fall out, baby teeth play several important roles in keeping your child's smile healthy. As an experienced pediatric dentist in North Texas, Dr. Boling often explains to parents the many benefits of avoiding cavities in baby teeth, including:
- Help your child learn to speak clearly by guiding tongue placement and helping form words properly
- Enable proper chewing, allowing your child to eat nutritious foods needed for healthy growth and development
- Hold space for adult teeth, acting like natural placeholders to prevent crowding when permanent teeth come in
- Build your child's confidence by providing a healthy smile for talking, speaking, and making friends
Protecting baby teeth through regular checkups and good home care gives your child the best start for a lifetime of healthy smiles. Dr. Boling and our team focus on preventing problems before they start and keeping those baby teeth healthy until they naturally fall out.
