• Do not let your child sip constantly on drinks with sugar.
• Babies and toddlers should finish their naptime and bedtime bottles before going to bed.
• Encourage your child to drink from a cup by his or her first birthday.
• If your child uses a pacifier, don't dip it in sugar or honey, or put it in your mouth before
giving it to the child. The cavity-causing bacteria in your mouth can be passed to your baby.
• After each feeding, wipe your infant's gums with a clean, damp washcloth or gauze pad.
Once the first tooth appears, brush your infant's teeth twice daily with a child-sized,
soft-bristled toothbrush. Visit the dentist by your child's first birthday. Consider this a
"well-baby checkup" for your child.
Tooth decay in infants
and toddlers is called
early childhood caries. It
happens when teeth are in
contact with sugary liquids
often or for long periods
of time. These liquids
include fruit juice, soda and
other sweetened liquids.
Early childhood caries can
destroy the teeth of an
infant or young child.
