Baby Bottle Tooth Decay: Cavities can develop in an infant’s mouth because of their milk bottle. To avoid this problem, do not put sugary fruit juices or sodas in your child’s baby bottle and do not let them fall asleep with it. As soon as your infant’s first tooth comes in, start brushing twice a day. Bruxism: About 1 in 3 children will grind and clench their teeth at night. Most kids grow out of this condition, but if your child performs it chronically and suffers from tooth pain as a result, then you may want to bring them to our practice for a night guard. Early Dental Caries: Young, growing teeth are vulnerable to decay. Children are also more likely to eat sugary snacks and less likely to maintain a daily oral hygiene routine. We protect their teeth from cavities by providing preventive dentistry services as well as dental sealants.
