While permanent teeth will eventually replace baby teeth, it is still important to take care of your child’s baby teeth and dental health. This will ensure healthy gums and proper positioning of permanent teeth.
Preventing Baby Bottle Tooth Decay is a very important step, as explained by Cinergy Health, to ensure your baby’s overall health and to prevent infections and other awful issues with baby teeth.
To prevent Baby Bottle Tooth Decay, make sure not to allow your baby to fall asleep with bottles containing milk, formula, fruit juice, breast milk or any sweetened liquids. After feeding your baby, try to wipe his gums and teeth with a clean, damp cloth when you can. Start brushing your baby’s teeth as soon as the first tooth appears and try to wean your baby by his first birthday and begin offering liquids in a cup.
