Dental Insurance Kids – Tooth Decay in Baby Teeth.
Tooth Decay in baby teeth can spread to the underlying permanent teeth.
Some people still feel baby teeth are not that important to worry about, and therefore only sometimes give proper dental care to their child/baby. They may need to learn that dental decay on baby teeth can cause tooth decay on the underlying adult teeth yet to come in. Baby teeth play an essential role in your child’s development because they aid in chewing, reserve space for permanent teeth, help with speech development, and help the face retain its standard shape. It is estimated that 90% of people in the US have at least one cavity and that 75% of people had their first cavity by the age of five.
