Milk teeth are important, Timely care is more important! Absence of Pain does not mean All is Well!

Many a times parents ask us, what will happen if we dont treat milk teeth, they are anyways going to fall...
What they fail to understand is that milk teeth fall at regular intervals until the age of 13years.
Until then they help in chewing food, they help in overall growth and development of the jaws and speech alike.
They guide their permanent successor to erupt properly into the arch.

A healthy tooth adds to the overall health related quality of life. Whereas a painful tooth keeps the child and you up entire night as happened with this child.
He reported with fever, excruciating pain, limited mouth opening affecting oral intake, dehydrated with sleepless night.
And all of this just happens overnight while u dont have time to react...Until yesterday the child did not have pain, and the same night the child lands with swelling. So delaying treatment because "doctor saab abhi pain nai hai" can lead to dental neglect whose repercussions the child has to bear
Well a regular visit to your pediatric dentist can help put you on a regular follow up and a preventive dental care rather than an interventional care, which may get painful!
