Superb oral care: The body may someday decide to expel the baby tooth. Until then, it is important to have a regular exam and x-rays by a dentist, regular cleaning by a hygienist, and proper brushing and flossing and Fluoride is important. Baby teeth do not have as thick an enamel coating as adult teeth. As a result they are more prone to wear and decay.
