For the parents of an infant, baby teeth is one of those precious milestones to look forward to, alongside first words and steps. But baby teeth are more than just a page in your child's scrapbook. Primary (or baby) teeth are important for many reasons:
- They play a role in proper chewing and eating.
- They help with speech development
- They hold space for permanent teeth, guiding them into the correct position.
- They aid in normal development of jaw bones and muscles.
- They make our toddlers' young smiles look great.
