Why Should Primary Teeth Be Filled?
Primary teeth have multiple functions, including preparing the space for the permanent dentition. But their enamel is much thinner, which makes it more prone to develop cavities. Since some primary teeth may remain in place until the age of 12 years old, dental filling is inevitable if the tooth is cracked or infected.
Filling is a solution that is both simple and inexpensive to treat tooth decay. It prevents the risk of having a very painful oral condition that could lead to very costly care, such as a tooth extraction. It also avoids unpleasant social situations.
