Baby Bottle Tooth Decay

Yes, I admit I gave my son a bottle (one at bedtime) until about a month ago. It is now 1 1 / 2 and has a tiny stain on his front tooth, which I guess is the occurrence of dental caries. We have a visit to the dentist this week, but wondered if anyone had any ideas in the meantime, how to prevent it from getting worse? It is no longer on the bottle at all and I have even limited the amount of juice he receives. Almost always, he drinks the cup regular (just SIPP) and we are healthy eaters, so much sugar is not really a problem even if I'm cut to almost nothing today. I brush my teeth after breakfast in the morning and right before bed every night. Other suggestions?

use a towel to the face, wet and hand clean his teeth after every meal (between brushing). Look in the water with fluorine. Check with your pediatrician and a dentist first.

Yes - stop worrying. Even if it is decay, a tooth which will its fall. Unless your son is in pain, the dentist get out next week. Good luck and stop beating you!

Sometimes a tooth get a cavity in it, no matter what we can do to prevent

Gosh! You seem to have done all I could think of. As long as you keep this routine dental caries, does not become worse. Make sure you keep the good work and the teeth regularly.

Putting a baby to bed with a bottle of milk is one of the worst things you can do to dental care. For future reference, feeding the baby at bedtime and when he gets to the point, he sleeps at night, after you feed him, give him a bottle of water for him to spend the night.

Do not assume that the problems of milk teeth fall fair. Some children have bad teeth if they have to be made under a procedure called dental rehabilitation when they go to sleep under general anesthesia and then the dentist can take hours to clean teeth, cavities patch, etc. It is a procedure done due to neglect of the child by the parent.

You are doing a good job with brushing. One way to make it more "fun" is that if you, your husband and your child all do it together. Your child needs to learn how to do it and do it as "great people" will help to develop a good habit. From 2 years, giving a soft brush films made for children. Also remember the toothpaste should be that it did not taste bad.

Your child must see the dentist every six months. Even if the dentist does that look, he will get the use of children's trip and when something should be done in the future, it will not so afraid.

Make sure your kid does not get addicted to sweets. sweet fruits, like bananas should be given rather than candy.
Cotton candy is one of the worst it's pure sugar, undiluted by a liquid. It sticks really well to teeth.

Finally, make a habit of feeling your child breathe. It takes a good smell. If she has a kind of fault on the Oder, is a clear indication something is wrong. There may be a bad tooth, an infection or tonsillitis.

You've made some changes that are in the right direction ... but one last thing. Make sure you brush your teeth before bed, and not give them something to eat or drink (except water) after their teeth bruthas.

Believe it or not, as juice, milk, everything that is consumed ... sits on the teeth during the night, which allows a door open for the decay (even at a gradual pace).
