Video Transcript
A child's first teeth begin to appear in infancy. As each tooth pushes through, the gum can become sore and swollen. The tooth slowly emerges through the gumline. In time, a full set of twenty baby teeth comes in. These teeth help a child chew, speak, and hold space for adult teeth. Later, the baby teeth loosen and fall out as adult teeth arrive. Baby teeth guide the way for a healthy adult smile. This video is for general education only. It is not medical or dental advice. Ask your dentist what's right for you.
