February 21, 2024

Do you wince in pain when you indulge in your favourite ice cream or sip on a hot cup of coffee? You’re not alone. Tooth sensitivity affects millions worldwide and can put a damper on everyday activities. However, there’s hope for those with sensitive teeth in the form of desensitizing toothpaste.

“Cavities in baby teeth don’t matter. They fall out anyway.”

If your child has a cavity affecting a baby tooth, addressing it as soon as possible before the cavity gets larger is essential. Cavities on baby teeth can affect your child in multiple ways by causing pain, leading to infection and premature loss of the baby tooth.

This can lead to crowded adult teeth. Premature loss of baby teeth can also lead to problems with speaking, biting, chewing and smiling for your child.
