Baby bottle tooth decay, sometimes called nursing bottle syndrome, is when your babys teeth begin to decay, or form cavities. This happens when well-meaning moms and dads put their children to bed with a bottle of formula, milk or juice to help soothe them to sleep. The sugars from these liquids remain on the teeth, and combine with bacteria which are normally found on the teeth. This produces acids, which causes the decay. Not only is this unsightly, but it affects your child's current and future dental health as well.
Here are some tips to prevent baby bottle tooth decay:
