Kids Dentist

Most people think that caring for the teeth only applies to permanent teeth, making children exempt from this practice. On the contrary, caring for baby teeth is just as important. The health and status of the baby teeth affect the status of the permanent teeth. How?

Baby teeth keep the space and alignment of teeth while the permanent teeth are still developing. When a baby tooth is removed before its time, the remaining teeth shift and move around, disrupting the alignment. As more and more teeth are damaged and removed, the more crooked the alignment of the permanent teeth will be.

Baby teeth also have functions in the speech development of children. Children may find it difficult to learn and pronounce certain sounds and words without the proper number of teeth.

Their function in your child’s nutrition is also compromised. Children need nutrients from solid food. With teeth damaged and decayed, mechanical digestion becomes harder.

At Your Gold Coast Dentist, keeping your child’s teeth and oral health at their best is more than just a job. It is equipping the future generation with the right tools to succeed.
