How to Avoid Baby Bottle Tooth Decay<\/h2>\n
Did you know your baby\u2019s teeth are at risk for decay as soon as the child is born? One of the biggest causes of tooth decay in infants and toddlers is known as baby bottle tooth decay.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Baby bottle tooth decay occurs when the baby\u2019s teeth are exposed for extended periods of time to liquids that contain sugar, such as juice, sweetened water and potentially milk or formula. The sugars in these drinks feed the bacteria in plaque that accumulate around the baby\u2019s teeth and gums. \u00a0Like adult teeth, each time a child drinks these beverages the acids attack the teeth for 20 minutes or longer, and multiple attacks can cause cavities and decay.<\/div>\n
