Baby Bottle Syndrome

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
