Why Are Milk Teeth Important?

1. Help in Chewing and Nutrition

Healthy teeth allow children to chew properly and get the nutrition they need for growth.

2. Assist in Speech Development

Teeth help children form sounds correctly and speak clearly.

3. Maintain Space for Permanent Teeth

Milk teeth guide permanent teeth into the right position.
Early loss can cause crowding or misalignment.

4. Boost Confidence and Social Interaction

A healthy smile helps children feel positive and confident around others.

5. Prevent Pain and Infection

Untreated cavities can lead to severe pain, swelling, and abscesses — affecting sleep and school performance.

Milk teeth are temporary, but their impact is long-lasting.

Common Dental Problems in Children

• Cavities due to sugary food and poor brushing

• Bottle tooth decay

• Gum infections

• Thumb sucking or nail biting habits
