![]() ![]() ![]() NCT writes that “milk teeth play an important role in the alignment and spacing of your little one’s permanent teeth. Another, less obvious function of milk teeth is that they pave the way for normal adult tooth development by ensuring there is ample space for them all and that they appear in the right places. As your baby begins to wean and move on to solid foods, your baby will need his or her teeth in order to move on from small lumps to more grown-up foods. On their website, Aquafresh says that “whether it’s one little tooth or a mouthful, it’s important they are all brushed from the moment they appear.” This is because milk teeth have a purpose. So, let’s take a minute just to remind ourselves of why it is vital to care for your baby’s teeth. It’s also been said that milk teeth don’t matter as much anyway because they aren’t the permanent adult teeth. We’ve heard it said that toddlers only need their teeth brushing once a day because they eat less than adults do. We’ve heard that babies who have teeth before they start eating solids don’t need their teeth brushing. There is a lot of misinformation out there about infant dental health.
