Parents often tend to disregard the oral health and hygiene of the milk teeth assuming that these teeth will eventually go away once the permanent teeth come. This is a huge misconception and affects the health and quality of life of several children, who have the problem of early dental decay or childhood caries. Our society nowadays lives on highly processed food and sugary diets and this has done big harm to the child’s dental health. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentists (AAPD) advises parents to make biannual dental appointments for children, beginning approximately six months of age or after the first tooth emerges. These two important yearly visits allow the dentist to monitor new developments in the child’s mouth, evaluate changes in the condition of teeth and gums, and advise parents on good oral care methods. The pediatric dentist may schedule additional visits for children who are particularly susceptible to tooth decay or who show early signs of orthodontic problems.

Painful dental conditions do not arise overnight. If the parent takes necessary, dental care and checkup undue discomfort for your child can be avoided and more extensive dental procedures like pulpotomy and pulpectomy can be avoided. Ignoring tooth problems in children could lead to tooth abscess, space infections, swelling, and other life-threatening conditions if the infection is allowed to spread without immediate intervention. So never, take the primary milk teeth for granted… they require the same attention and care as the permanent dentition and only a good set of milk teeth can pave way for a good set of adult dentition.
