Why should we fix Baby Teeth?

 

Primary, or "baby," teeth are as important as your permanent teeth. Those help child for not only speech, chew naturally but also keeping space and forming a guide for the permanent teeth when they are ready to erupt in oral cavity. Cavities and abscess in baby teeth can lead to permanent teeth damage or deformity and may cause significant space and alignment problems for permanent teeth which might need orthodontic treatment to correct.

What are Dental Sealants?

 

Sealants are resin based filling material that seals and fills in the deep grooves on the chewing surfaces of the teeth. so it helps keep food particles out of those grooves and that way prevents cavities. The application of sealants is fast and comfortable and can effectively protect decay development on those surfaces of baby and permanent teeth for long time.
