Yes. Baby teeth with cavities can be very painful for a child and possibly cause serious infections. Children have died from untreated dental infections. Keeping baby teeth healthy will help kids keep their adult teeth healthy - they will come in straighter and have less chance of getting cavities if their baby teeth are healthy. Little kids can't tell you if their tooth aches. They may just cry or throw temper tantrums if things hurt.
