"Dr. Hall, how can I prevent tooth decay from nursing or a bottle?" |
|
Taking your baby off of the breast
when he/she falls asleep can prevent baby tooth decay. Hold your baby
while bottle feeding. Always take a bottle filled with milk or juice
away from the sleeping child. If your child requires a bottle at bedtime provide a bottle filled with water. Instead of a bottle, try comforting your child with a pacifier or a favorite toy or blanket. Check with your health care provider to make sure your child is getting the right amount of fluoride. Brush your baby's teeth with a soft toothbrush daily. For more answers about your baby's dental care call us at 225 925-2273. |
