Important Dental Facts
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When a child is five to six years old, the back tooth on each side (upper and lower) is a permanent tooth. This is the first permanent tooth the child gets. These four teeth are often mistaken for baby teeth. Baby teeth are very important. They help the permanent teeth come in properly. They also hold the space for the permanent teeth.
Toothpaste is not as important as brushing. Brush with water if no toothpaste is available. It is important to remove the film which is called dental plaque, that accumulates on the teeth every day.
