Also, they are important... They guide adult teeth into place and surely the decay, if far gone enough, can spread to the adult teeth?It can be quite a big topic in the BF/cosleeping/GP groups. Lots of breastfeeding mums basically don't care because 'they are milk teeth and fall out anyway.' I got quite a lot of tit one day for saying just because they are milk teeth doesn't mean we should just let them rot, could end up causing so much unnecessary pain for little ones. I was actually super surprised by the groups at how so few of them care about good oral hygiene because their child is breast fed.
