FACT OF BABY TEETH

By: Smileway Dental

1. Did you know that baby’s teeth develop while they are still in the womb? At birth, newborn have a full set 20 baby teeth hidden beneath their gum.

2. Teething is common experience for babies. It happens as a result of their baby teeth pushing through their gum. This process is often uncomfortable and painful.

3. Baby teeth help reserve space for adult teeth once they grow in.

4. Baby teeth still need brushing and flossing. Baby teeth are little, but they should not be ignored.

5. A baby tooth won’t fall out unless there’s an adult tooth to replace it.

6. Girls’ teeth tend to erupt before the boy.

7. Baby teeth affect adult teeth placement. If you little one losses a baby tooth too early, the permanent teeth can begin to drift into the empty space. This can crowd other adult teeth as they come in, leading to crowded or crooked appearance.

8. Before the baby tooth falls out, the root dissolve. That’s why, when your child’s tooth falls out, you only see the crown not the root.

9. A twice a year check up is recommended for most children. Regular dental visit help your child stay cavity free.

  The response from time of my asking for an appointment (though last minute) was handled well. Staff was ensuring that if I couldn't make the 5pm appointed time then she offered to reschedule.  So I did for the next day. Dr Edwin was super nice and gave options to see that my swollen due to infection gum was treated with care. I only visit this clinic because of its professionalism.  Cheers guys and keep up the great job ! Thanks.

  People with dental phobia like me have an awareness that the fear is totally irrational, but with extensive experience in the field of dentistry, Dr Lisa provides efficient and compassionate patient care. I just had my tooth extraction this morning and it was painless.... Furthermore Dr Lisa are very attentive and explain things very thoroughly without pushing for unnecessary treatment. Thank you so much Dr Lisa 🙏

  Got a bridge and implant done by Dr Jon this year. Still holding up, looking forward to next and hopefully final treatment for missing tooth. Flexible payment terms and polite staff. Give them a try if you haven't.

  Having great experience so far. The doctor are very attentive and explain things very thoroughly without pushing for unncesssary treatment. The clinic is well lit and very clean👍👍.

It is on the first and second so it will be a bit hard if you have a bad leg.
