Decayed Baby Teeth - Bottle Carries! Dr. Nichols Can Help! Signs and appearance of
baby teeth displaying bottle carries:
Children who have erupted teeth or are past the age to be weaned are highly susceptible to rotted front teeth when being put to bed with a bottle containing milk, juice or other sugar-containing liquids. There is decreased salivary flow during sleep and clearance of the liquid from the teeth is slowed. Call us at 847 392-2141 for more details. The liquid pools around the upper front baby teeth and creates an excellent environment to promote the growth of decay-causing bacteria. Removing the bottle before the first tooth appears and wiping the child's gums and teeth with a soft cloth before being put to bed can help prevent decay. At 30 months to 3 years of age, parents should bring their child into Dean Nichols DDS for an examination and recommended home care by Dr. Nichols. |
