Importance of Baby Teeth
Many parents will ask “Why worry about baby teeth when they are going to fall out?” Baby teeth (primary teeth) are important because they do not only aid in function of the oral cavity through chewing and speech development, but they also help to hold space for the developing permanent teeth. Excellent dental care helps to aid the developing oral cavity prepare for the emergence of the permanent teeth.
When primary teeth get decay, they can lead to dental pain and abscessed teeth. Studies have shown that children with severe decay miss more days of school and have a harder time concentrating in school. It is important for children to build strong preventive habits early on so that they may go on to have excellent dental hygiene as they mature.
Our goals are to help minimize early childhood decay, and restoring teeth that have cavities which may cause children discomfort and pain.
Our doctors will always explain when and why a tooth needs a restoration and how to prevent future cavities from developing through diet and good oral hygiene.
Our caring and dedicated staff can't wait to hear from you! You guys did an amazing job with my 4 year old. Not at all during the appointment was she stressed or nervous. The staff was extremely friendly and caring. - Amanda R My 7 yr old needed a consultation and procedure. The front desk and doctor was very informative, polite, and friendly . Worked well with safety precautions and limiting how many patients are in waiting room with the unfortunate circumstances of the coronavirus going on right now. I feel comfortable and confident in continuing my child's dental services with this facility. - Karen G I always receive outstanding service. - Joseph E My oldest has anxiety about the dentist but is very comfortable at Chesapeake dental!
