Even though children will eventually lose all their baby teeth, it is important to keep them healthy and free of decay. Tooth decay progresses much quicker in baby teeth and can easily develop into abscesses and chronic pain. It is important to keep their baby teeth until their adult teeth come through as it helps maintain space for the adult teeth and helps guide them into the correct position, reducing the need for more complex work in the future.

At around 6 years old, children will start to get their first adult molars through. Fissure sealants are usually recommended when deep pits and fissures are noted in these teeth to prevent decay forming due to bacteria sitting in the deep pits and groves.
