Fillings in baby teeth are very effective. Even though “baby teeth” are temporary, a parent must remember that they serve a very important job as being natural space holders for permanent teeth. There are 20 baby teeth that usually take 6 years to fully exfoliate. So, a child will start losing their baby teeth at age 6 and fully complete that process by age 12. Therefore, it’s in the best interest of the child to restore decayed teeth in order to maintain oral heathy. There is also a marked difference between permanent and primary.

They structurally have thinner enamel so decay can spread faster and cause pulp damage at a quicker rate than in permanent teeth.
