Baby Bottle Tooth Decay
Ways to prevent 'Early Decay'
- Put only water in a bedtime or naptime bottle
- Never use a nursing bottle filled with sweet liquid ( including milk or fruit juice) as a pacifier
- Never dip your infant's pacifier in honey, syrup or sugar
- After each feeding, wipe your infant's gums and teeth with a clean, damp washcloth or gauze pad
- As soon as the first tooth appears, brush your child's teeth daily with a child size toothbrush
- Make sure your child gets the fluoride needed for decay resistant teeth
- Start regular dental visits when your child is between 1 and 2 years of age
