Milk Teeth Treatments and Preventive Practices
Children’s oral and dental health is one of the cornerstones of their overall health. Milk teeth play important roles in children’s nutrition, speech and general development. Therefore, it is of great importance to protect and treat milk teeth in a healthy way.
What are Milk Teeth and Why Are They Important?
Baby teeth are the teeth that children start to grow around 6 months and usually fall out by the age of 12. The health of these teeth is important for the child’s eating habits and general oral health. Baby teeth that are lost early or left untreated can cause permanent teeth to grow crooked or have negative effects on jaw development.
What are the treatments for milk teeth?
If decay and other problems seen in milk teeth are not detected and treated early, they can negatively affect the health of permanent teeth. Treatment methods applied by Antalya pediatric dentist Prof. Dr. Behiye Bolgül are planned in accordance with the dental development of children.
