Deciduous teeth are the baby teeth, milk teeth, or primary teeth. Deciduous teeth start developing during the embryonic stage and then commonly begin to come in about 6 months after birth.They are usually lost and replaced by permanent teeth but in the absence of their permanent replacements, they can remain functional for many years into adulthood. Dental caries also known as tooth decay, is one of the most prevalent chronic diseases among children worldwide. This oral condition involves bacterial infection which de-mineralises and destructs tooth tissues. In primary dentition, extensive tooth decay is the most common dental disease. Prolonged exposure of the baby’s teeth to drinks that contain sugar can cause tooth decay. This can happen when the baby is put to bed with a bottle, or when a bottle is used as a pacifier for a fussy baby.
If you see some pearly whites peeking out when your little one smiles, it’s time to pick up a tube of fluoride toothpaste and first dental visit. If your child is 3 or younger, use a smear of toothpaste (about the size of a grain of rice). For children 3 or older, a pea-sized amount of fluoride toothpaste will work. Milk teeth cleaning should be done with the help of child-friendly plastic flossing tools to more easily clean between your child’s teeth.

Poor myo-functional habits (poor oral habits) are evident before all permanent teeth are present in mouth which means treatment cause aroused much before thought originally. Myobraces deals with these incorrect myo-functional habits by teaching children to breathe through their nose, rest the tongue correctly in roof of the mouth, swallow correctly and continue widening of the jaws, so they grow full and proper size naturally without the need of braces.
