“But they are only baby teeth; won’t they just fall out?” Our team at Carolina Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry has had these questions asked many times from parents over the years. Primary teeth, or “baby teeth,” will indeed come out eventually, to be replaced by permanent teeth as the child grows and develops. These teeth serve a great purpose as the child continues to develop and require specific care.

Children’s oral health differs from that of adults in a variety of ways. Drs. Luis Leite and Rick Singh and our team want you to understand how you can provide the best care for your son or daughter’s teeth. It’s essential to understand what your child will need from you when it comes to his or her oral health in those first few years.
