Primary teeth commonly referred to as baby teeth, play an important role in dental development. A child that does not have primary teeth will not be able to chew properly and will have difficulty speaking.
These teeth are also important to the jaws and are used to guide the permanent teeth into place.
Your child should expect their permanent teeth to start developing around the age of 6.
If you are noticing a problem with your child’s development of primary or permanent teeth, the doctors and staff of the Pediatric Group of Hattiesburg & Laurel are here to help.
The way your child cares for his/her teeth at a young age can drastically affect their future dental health.
Our experienced staff is trained to help with infant tooth eruption and baby bottle tooth decay.
Our office is dedicated to getting your baby started on healthy oral care.
