Yes, children need to keep their primary teeth until their permanent dentition come in naturally. Cavities in baby teeth can lead to serious issues and should be treated right away to avoid any of these potential issues:
- Pain and discomfort — Left untreated, a cavity can cause pain and sensitivity.
- Dental infection — Tooth decay can spread and infect other teeth.
- Damage to permanent teeth — Untreated cavities can lead to tooth decay on your child’s permanent teeth.
- Premature tooth loss — Cavities can cause baby teeth to come out before they’re ready, causing spacing issues.
- Alignment issues — Premature tooth loss can lead to alignment issues if your child’s other teeth shift into the gaps.
