Here at Kidsmile, one of the primary goals of your child’s dentists is to help prevent your child from developing cavities and tooth decays. As you know, children’s teeth, or baby teeth in general, are more permeable and softer than adult teeth. Because of these characteristics, baby teeth are more prone to cavities and tooth decay. When decay develops in your child’s tooth, that specific part of the tooth will need to be removed. This needs to be done to stop the decay from making any further damage to the tooth.
