Children can’t pay attention to oral care as much as adults.The child’s dexterity, curiosity and parent’s attitude determine the habit of brushing teeth.Unfortunately, a vaccine or drug that can completely prevent caries hasn’t yet been developed.
Untreated primary tooth leads to pain,bad odor,chewing difficulties,malnutrition and unpretty appearence.In this period untreated primary tooth disorders can lead to distortion of the jaw development and general health problems in the future.Therefore, caries in primary teeth should be treated as soon as possible.
