Debunking Three Myths About Baby Teeth

teeth, health, smile,dentist, oralhealth, dentalhealthLosing the first baby tooth is a milestone for a child. But perhaps not everything you’ve heard about the process is true, as evidenced by how widespread some myths about this matter are.

Key takeaways:

– It’s not ok to pull loose a child’s baby tooth, as this could cause bleeding and infection.

– It’s very rare for a child to swallow or choke on a loose tooth.

– Caring for baby teeth is important, as this teaches your kids good dental hygiene habits.

Feel free to have a chat with your dentist for advice on how to help your child get through this transitional period.
