Decayed Baby Teeth - Bottle Caries! Dr. Slota Can Help!
Signs and appearance of
baby teeth displaying bottle caries:
 |
Brown baby teeth with fragmented edges |
|
|
Upper front baby teeth that break easily |
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 (303) 623-4444 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 18 months of age, parents should bring their child into Bernard D Slota DDS for examination by Dr. Slota and recommend home care.
