That&#8217;s a long period of time to have those teeth in your mouth and those teeth serve a purpose. They allow our children to smile, they allow our children to eat and function. They allow our children to have a space for an adult tooth to grow so very important for a child to be able to thrive and have a healthy mouth.<\/p>\n<p>Baby teeth are important and they&#8217;re not just baby teeth, they&#8217;re kid&#8217;s teeth. We wouldn&#8217;t want to have anything left untreated for any period of time. Infection could happen, pain can happen, and quality of life goes down when you don&#8217;t have a comfortable, healthy mouth.<\/p>\n<p>Please leave your questions and comments below and our staff at the Western Surgery Center would be happy to answer them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"padding: 10px; background-color: #b4cc8c;\">\n<h2 style=\"color: #fff;\">REQUEST A CONSULTATION<\/h2>\n<div class='_form_4'><\/div><script type='text\/javascript' src='https:\/\/westernsurgerycentre.activehosted.com\/f\/embed.php?static=0&id=4&662E60E308319&nostyles=1&preview=0'><\/script>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Carla Cohn explains the importance of baby teeth and why it&#8217;s so crucial to take good care of them. &#8220;It&#8217;s a common misconception that baby teeth should not be fixed as they are just going to fall out, however, we get our first baby&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/westernsurgerycentre.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/896"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/westernsurgerycentre.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/westernsurgerycentre.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/westernsurgerycentre.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/westernsurgerycentre.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=896"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/westernsurgerycentre.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/896\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":897,"href":"https:\/\/westernsurgerycentre.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/896\/revisions\/897"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/westernsurgerycentre.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=896"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/westernsurgerycentre.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=896"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/westernsurgerycentre.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=896"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
