Baby teeth decayed - Bottle caries
| ||||||||||
| = | Brown teeth with fragmented edges |
| = | Upper front teeth that break easily |
Children who have erupted teeth or are past the age to be weaned are highly susceptible to rotted front teeth when being put to bed with a bottle containing milk, juice or other sugar-containing liquids. There is decreased salivary flow during sleep and clearance of the liquid from the teeth is slowed.
Call us at 225 925-2273 for more details.
The liquid pools around the upper front baby teeth and creates an excellent environment to promote the growth of decay-causing bacteria. Removing the bottle before the first tooth appears and wiping the child's gums and teeth with a soft cloth before being put to bed can help
prevent decay.
At 18 months of age, parents should bring their
child into Bocage Care Dental for an examination and recommended home care by Dr. Hall.
