Need to Know: Bottlemouth Syndrome
Children's front teeth are prone to decay when overexposed to sugary or acidic drinks - hence the term bottlemouth syndrome or 'baby bottle tooth' decay. It's important to prevent this.
Key takeaways:
- Avoid putting sugary drinks, even natural fruit juice, in your child's bottle.
- Never let your child use a bottle as a pacifier or take their bottle to bed.
- Once your child is one-year-old, start scheduling regular checkups with a dentist.
If your child's gums appear irritated or teeth appear spotted, see a dentist.
