Numerous parents can attest to pinning down the toddler in an attempt to have them brush their teeth. It is a good thing to ensure that oral healthcare results in healthy baby teeth.
Key takeaways:
- Even though they eventually fall off, baby teeth are important for function and in guiding the permanent teeth into their positions.
