Baby teeth are going to fall out anyway, so why is it important to take care of them?

Young children need teeth in order to be able to chew food and speak clearly. Baby teeth or milk teeth also help to create space for permanent teeth. If any baby teeth fall out or rot before their time, permanent teeth may be crowded and crooked as a result.
 
This is why it is so important to look after baby teeth as your child’s future dental health depends on it.
