🦷 Baby teeth may be temporary — but the damage from cavities is not. 👶

A common misconception is that decay in baby teeth doesn’t matter because “they will eventually fall out.” This belief is both misleading and harmful. Primary teeth are critical not only for chewing and speech but also for guiding the growth and alignment of permanent teeth developing directly beneath them.

When a cavity in a baby tooth is left untreated, infection can travel through the root and reach the permanent tooth bud forming inside the jaw. Research shows that this can result in weak enamel, discoloration, or even malformations of the future tooth. In severe cases, children may experience abscesses, pain, and swelling — conditions that demand urgent care.

Beyond the infection itself, losing a baby tooth too early disrupts the natural spacing of the jaw, often leading to crowding and misalignment that later require orthodontic treatment. What looks like “just a cavity” can silently set the stage for years of dental complications.

The good news: prevention is simple and effective. Fluoride exposure, regular checkups, daily brushing, and limiting sugary snacks greatly reduce the risk of decay. Parents must remember — cavities are not harmless holes. They are infections, and infections spread. Protecting a child’s baby teeth means safeguarding the health and beauty of their future permanent smile.

This image serves as a reminder of the importance of replacing missing tooth as soon as possible.

The dental cast illustrates supraeruption of the maxillary first and second molars into the edentulous space left by the missing mandibular posterior teeth. This occurred due to absence of occlusal contact. ‼️
