Primary teeth sometimes called “milk teeth”, are important to your child’s health and development and should be cared for just like permanent teeth. Primary teeth serve critical functions as a child learns to eat and speak. They are important for the normal growth and development of the face. In addition, they maintain space on the jaws and guide the formation of permanent teeth. While some primary teeth are typically replaced around age 6, the back teeth (molars) can remain in until age 12 or 13. Without proper care, these teeth can decay and possibly cause toothaches, gum disease, and serious health problems. Dental caries is an infectious disease process that causes tooth decay or “cavities” and bad breath. If untreated, caries can lead to severe pain, local infection, tooth loss, and even serious recurring infections. Teeth, which are primarily made of minerals, are in a constant state of back-and-forth de-mineralization and re-mineralization. When your child eats and drinks, certain types of bacteria create acid from the foods and fluids left on the teeth. The acid de-mineralizes and weakens the tooth enamel. In healthy mouths, the time between meals allows, minerals from the saliva to become incorporated into the teeth, recoating the enamel and reversing the damage from the acid. The tooth essentially heals itself. However, in unhealthy mouths where there is an abundance of bacteria and a high frequency of juice, sugary drink or snack consumption, the enamel never re-mineralizes and the tooth develops decay. Therefore, parents who incorporate healthy oral routines, use appropriate amounts of fluoride, and space out food and drink consumption will have healthier little smiles in their family photos!
