Why Should We Treat Milk Tooth ?

Treating milk teeth (also known as primary teeth or baby teeth) and saving them is important for several reasons

Maintaining proper oral function: Milk teeth play a crucial role in chewing, speech devel- opment, and maintaining proper alignment of permanent teeth, Losing milk teeth prema- turely can lead to issues with eating, speaking, and even the development of permanent teeth.
Guiding permanent teeth: Milk teeth serve as guides for the eruption of permanent teeth, If milk teeth are lost too early due to decay or other issues, it can disrupt the natural sequence of tooth eruption, potentially leading to misalignment or crowding of permanent teeth.
Preventing oral health problems: Decay or infection in milk teeth can spread to the underlying permanent teeth or even affect the surrounding gums and bone, Saving milk teeth through proper dental care can prevent such complications and maintain overall oral health.

Psychological impact: Losing teeth prematurely can have a significant psychological impact on children, affecting their self-esteem and confidence, Saving milk teeth helps preserve a child’s smile and prevents potential emotional distress.
Facilitating proper nutrition: Healthy milk teeth are essential for proper chewing and digestion of food, which is crucial for overall nutrition and growth, especially in young children.
Speech development: Milk teeth play a vital role in the development of clear speech patterns, Losing milk teeth prematurely can lead to speech impediments and difficulties in communication.
