What
dental problems could a baby have? |
 |
Dental problems can begin
early. A big concern is Baby Bottle Tooth Decay (BBTD), which is
preventable. BBTD can result from long periods of exposing baby
teeth to liquids that contain sugar including formula, milk, breast milk,
and juice.
A baby who has a habit of sleeping with a baby bottle filled with any
sugary liquid or a breast in their mouth is at risk of getting BBTD.
Frequent snacking on sweet or sticky foods can also cause decay.
The earlier the first dental visit, the better chance of preventing dental
problems. Children with healthy teeth can chew food well, speak
clearly and share precious smiles. Start your child on a lifetime of
good dental habits now! |
