Why is it important to fix baby teeth that have decay? Aren they going to come out anyway?
It is very important to maintain the baby teeth because these teeth maintain the space for the future eruption of the permanent teeth. If a baby tooth is removed too early, the space necessary for the permanent teeth is lost and can only be regained through orthodontic treatment.which is going to be more expensive and time consuming . Decayed teeth on ther other hand can cause infection, and Infected baby teeth can cause the permanent teeth to develop improperly resulting in stains, pits and weaker teeth.
