Yes, cavities in baby teeth often need treatment, even though those teeth will eventually fall out. Baby teeth play an important role in chewing, speech development, and holding space for permanent teeth. When cavities are left untreated, they can grow larger, cause pain, lead to infections, and potentially affect the development of adult teeth. Early treatment helps preserve oral health, prevent discomfort, and avoid more complex dental procedures later. Regular dental visits and prompt attention to cavities can help keep your child’s smile healthy as they grow.
