Preventing Baby Bottle Tooth Decay

Averting baby bottle tooth decay is the best course of action and relatively simple. Helping your child practice great dental hygiene habits is the number one thing you can do to assist them to thwart baby bottle tooth decay’s growth. Aid your child as they brush their chompers in the morning and at night, and aid them as they floss at least once per day. Reward their good oral hygiene behaviors so the habit becomes a permanent one and protects their mouth for many years to come. On your next appointment, please ask Dr. John J. Andre about more instructions for your child’s age group.

Children’s teeth come in starting at around six months of age, and teeth impacts children up to the age of 6. This long period of time when children are simultaneously susceptible to baby bottle tooth decay yet incapable of brushing on their own means parents and caregivers will need to be more diligent in looking out for signs of the ailment and helping children practice awesome oral hygiene.
