What is the purpose of primary teeth?

Most children have a full set of primary teeth by the time they’re three years old. Primary teeth are important for many reasons. They:

  • Promote good nutrition through proper chewing
  • Assist in speech development
  • Build self-esteem by providing a beautiful smile
  • Enable the child to pay attention and learn in school without the distraction of dental pain
  • Provide a place for permanent teeth to follow when they are ready to erupt
