Prevent Baby Bottle Tooth Decay
Tooth decay can begin as soon as a baby's teeth come in. Decay in
baby teeth can lead to cavities and cause pain. Left untreated, it can
destroy the teeth of an infant or young child.
Babies have a higher risk for decay if their
teeth are in contact with sugary liquids often
or for long periods of time. These liquids
include fruit juice, soda and other sweetened
liquids. Bacteria in the mouth feed on the
sugar in these drinks. The bacteria release
acids that can attack teeth and cause cavities.
Never put your baby to bed with a bottle or
use a bottle as a pacifier. 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. It's important to know that the
cavity-causing bacteria in your mouth
can be passed to your baby.
Sippy cups or "no-spill" cups should only
be used until around a child's first birthday.
After that, try to get your child to drink
from a small open cup.
Cleaning Your Baby's Teeth
After each feeding, wipe the baby's gums
with a clean, damp gauze pad or washcloth.
This will remove plaque and bits of food that
can harm erupting teeth. When your child's
teeth begin to erupt, brush them gently with
a child-sized toothbrush and water. Position
your child so you can see into the mouth
easily. You might want to sit, resting his or
her head in your lap.
