Your child’s baby teeth are very important. Even though they are temporary, they are susceptible to cavities, just like mature teeth. Baby Bottle Tooth Decay or Nursing Bottle Caries refers to decay in toddlers and infants. Your children need healthy teeth to chew food, speak properly and have a pretty smile radiantly. Most commonly, nursing bottle caries affect the teeth on the top front, but it can also impact the rest of the teeth. Many reasons cause baby bottle teeth, but the most common is the prolonged and frequent exposure of the baby’s teeth to drinks and sugary food. Tooth decay occurs when a fussy baby uses the pacifier or when the child goes to bed with a bottle. It is a disease that begins when cavity-causing bacteria is passed to infant from the mother/care-giver. The bacteria feed on the sugar and produce the acid as waste products In the mouth. Tooth enamel and teeth are attacked by this acid and resulting in tooth decay. It causes discomfort and pain in the mouth. It may lose the space which is needed for its growth and damage your teeth permanently. Not only that, but it also causes infections that may lead to other health issues.   Your babies must have excellent dental hygiene to ensure that their teeth remain healthy for many years to come.
