Usually the primary set of teeth will erupt by the age of 3 years and then onwards it remains stable for the rest 3 years

Functions of Primary Teeth:
  1. Food needs to be chewed before entering the digestive system.
  2. Teeth can help us pronounce accurately.
  3. Teeth can help us look better by giving us a good profile..
  4. Deciduous teeth can reserve spaces for permanent teeth. .


Why to treat primary teeth????
Just because your child’s primary teeth, often known as baby teeth, eventually fall out, doesn’t mean they are not important. Primary teeth play an important role in your child’s overall health, development and well-being.
  • Promote good nutrition through proper chewing
  • Assist in speech development
  • Build self-esteem by providing a beautiful smile
  • Provide a path for permanent teeth to follow when they are ready to erupt.

How does it progress???

Golden Rules to prevent tooth decay

1. Brush your teeth at least twice daily

2. Eat a balanced diet

3. Avoid eating high sugar and/or high acid foods (cookies, candy, wafers, soda) between meals. Be careful with diet soda, it may not have sugar but it certainly has a lot of acid which is just as bad!

4. Remember that it's OK to eat those sweet treats at meal times! It's not how much you eat, it's how often your teeth are exposed to that abuse

5. Drink water after eating. Water returns the pH of your mouth to a neutral level so it can counteract the effects of acidic and sugary foods. Frequent sips of water also prevents having dry mouth which could further cause cavities and bad breath

6. Don’t forget to clean the spaces in between teeth by flossing

7. Get regular dental checkup at every 6 months. You need to have your teeth cleaned every 6 months in order to preserve your teeth and the bone that supports your teeth

8. Fluoride application

9. Pit and fissure sealant
