\"BabyEvery Goose Creek\u00a0parent remembers seeing their baby\u2019s first teeth emerge, watching the rest pop up, and finally cheering as their child loses their first baby tooth, all in the blink of an eye! In fact, baby teeth come and go so quickly that some people are led believe they don\u2019t have an impact on a child\u2019s dental health later in life. Dr. Barganier, Dr. Zuffi, Dr. Williams, and Dr. McAdams<\/a>\u00a0want you to know that that couldn\u2019t be further from the truth! At Carolina Complete Dental, we are committed to giving our community access to reliable information on dental care, so here are the facts about why baby teeth matter. Feel free to give us a call<\/a>\u00a0with any questions.<\/p>\n

A Guide to Baby Teeth<\/strong><\/p>\n

Baby teeth, also known as deciduous, primary, milk, or lacteal teeth, are a set of 20 teeth that will be in your child\u2019s mouth for most of their childhood. Although baby teeth usually emerge at around 6 months, they begin forming in the womb as early as 16 weeks. By age 3, all Goose Creek children should have all 20 of their baby teeth. By age 13, all their permanent teeth (except for wisdom teeth) will have come in.<\/p>\n

Why Baby Teeth Matter<\/strong><\/p>\n

Your child\u2019s primary teeth play a crucial role in their life. They may only be around for the first few years, but they set the stage for dental health and proper development in the future. Here\u2019s what Dr. Barganier, Dr. Zuffi, Dr. Williams, and Dr. McAdams would like every Goose Creek parent to know about primary teeth:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. They make chewing possible so that babies can learn to eat solid food<\/li>\n
  2. They help kids learn to speak quickly and clearly<\/li>\n
  3. They save space for permanent teeth as children\u2019s\u2019 mouths grow<\/li>\n
  4. They help kids learn the importance of dental hygiene<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Taking Care of Baby Teeth<\/strong><\/p>\n

    The best way to ensure life-long dental health is to teach your kids about dental hygiene with consistent, but fun<\/em> routines. Brush their teeth twice a day and floss them at least once a day. Most importantly, make sure to visit Dr. Barganier, Dr. Zuffi, Dr. Williams, and Dr. McAdams when your baby\u2019s first teeth emerge, and then twice a year after that for regular checkups and cleanings. At Carolina Complete Dental, we love to help Goose Creek families maintain great oral health, so please give us a call<\/a>\u00a0if you have any questions.<\/p>\n
