When caring for your child's smile, it's important to remember that baby teeth are just as
susceptible as the permanent teeth to decay. In fact, more than 50% of children develop
cavities
before the age of five. Not only does tooth decay pose a risk to the health of the involved
baby
teeth, but untreated cavities can also have consequences for your child's overall well-being
and
the
permanent teeth that are yet to come into place.
