Health Tip: Why Are Baby Teeth Important?
By LadyLively on February 1, 2017
Though baby teeth are only temporary, they’re still important and need proper care.

- Provide space for permanent teeth to eventually grow.
- Prevent permanent teeth from emerging too early, which could lead to misalignment and crowding.
