Why is it important to fix baby teeth decay?

BottleCaries

It is very important to maintain baby teeth because these teeth hold space for the future eruption of permanent teeth. If a baby teeth decay or are removed too early, the space necessary for the permanent tooth is lost and can only be regained through orthodontic treatment. Infected baby teeth also can cause permanent teeth to develop improperly, resulting in permanent enamel defects and weaker teeth.
