What is the Burden of Cavities On Your Child? 

• Too early loss of milk teeth can cause the permanent teeth to erupt between the gaps of the empty spaces, making it difficult for the permanent teeth to erupt in the correct position.

• Moreover dental caries at such a young age can be quite traumatic to your child as the pain can be rather unbearable. 

• Not to mention, dental cavities and bad oral care will cause absenteeism in school, dysfunction, and difficulty in concentrating, poor appearance and self-esteem issues all of which would affect your child’s confidence and personality.
