L.A. and Santa Monica Orthodontics Specialist Discusses Tooth Development from Birth to Age 3
LOS ANGELES, BEVERLY HILLS AND SANTA MONICA, CALIFORNIA-- Although they are not permanent, a child’s primary, or baby, teeth play an important role in development.
Healthy baby teeth are necessary for chewing food and holding a space in the jaw until the adult teeth erupt. That means that what goes on in a child’s mouth from birth to age 3 can play a significant role in the child’s adult teeth development, said Los Angeles and Santa Monica orthodontics specialist Dr. Atoosa Nikaeen.
