Should decay in baby teeth be treated if they’re going to fall out anyway?

Yes, decay in baby teeth should be treated. While they will exfoliate one day, baby teeth have important roles in speech, eating, guiding adult teeth into place, and jaw development. Untreated decay can cause pain, infection, and affect the health of the developing adult teeth underneath. We aim to treat cavities gently and preventatively, with a focus on minimally invasive care and education to support healthy lifelong habits.

Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks, and we recommend seeking a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner before proceeding.
