Baby Teeth
Many parents are well-prepared for the various medical issues that can arise with their kids. They've read plenty of 'What to expect' books, and can diagnose an illness with remarkable skill.
Yet for some reason, the mouth seems to be the 'final frontier'...an unexplored area of knowledge for most parents.
Yet a child's dental health is intrinsically tied to their overall health. So a good understanding of what it takes to keep those cute little baby teeth healthy is a parent's duty.

Baby Bottle Tooth Decay
The problem is that because the child falls asleep, much of the sugars and acids in the drinks stay in the mouth, contributing to tooth decay.
Early Childhood Caries / Baby Bottle Tooth Decay
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry says that frequent consumption of liquids containing fermentable carbohydrates (e.g., juice, milk, formula, soda) increases the risk of dental caries due to prolonged contact between sugars in the liquid and cariogenic bacteria on the teeth. Poor feeding practices without appropriate preventive measures can lead to a distinctive pattern of caries in susceptible infants and toddlers commonly known as baby bottle tooth decay (BBTD), a form of severe early childhood caries (ECC). Frequent bottle feeding at night, breast-feeding on demand, and extended and repetitive use of a no-spill training cup are associated with ECC. Children experiencing caries as infants or toddlers have a much greater probability of subsequent caries in primary and permanent teeth.
